Could be a characteristic of the X5 engine cooling system. There is a lot of air circulating around the block. Thermostat settings could impact it. We are speaking here about how the vehicle stands up to misuse, however. Give it a good drive once a week. It simply wasn't designed to never be warmed up. If you can't warm it up properly, then change the oil a lot more frequently (as per the severe service recommendations), and clean out the CCV each season.
