I've never seen a vehicle in a ditch that was very well aligned (e.g. perpendicular) to solid, level ground. So I'm betting that it would be pretty hard to get an even pull using two tow eyes when the truck is at a angle to the X5.
FWIW I think the reason you have four locations for a single two eye is to allow you to install the tow eye to get the straightest pull from the tow vehicle. Which could be an SUV, etc. that only has a tow location on one side. For example, so that the tow strap does not go from the left rear of the tow vehicle to the right front of your X5.
