Hi guys, this reply is a bit confusing - if the 2003 model can be towed with one axle lifted,(as per owners manual) and x-drive was released after 2004. It means that a 2003 X5 with planetary gears (pre x-drive) cannot be towed with an axle lifted or it will be damaged, as related in this post.
Does that mean that the owners manual is indeed incorrect.

Can some one please maybe answer these questions:
1) How does one tow a non x-drive X5
2) How does one tow and x-drive X5.

thanks, and great forum.
