Search for p1161 or CCV. See how many posts come up regarding these hoses disintegrating at ~70k miles. There are TONS of problems involving these hoses.

however, if you have all your hoses in a melt-like condition, you could be putting a bandaid on a larger problem. before saying the OEM parts are crap (if the parts were 100% to blame resulting in a mess, you'd probably hear a lot more people complaining on this site about them), there could be some other overheat issue or blockage in your oil passages.
what is the year, mileage and powertrain of your X5?
