Probably. Many of my issues happened between 60k-100k miles. A LOT happened though. I am used to 3 series cars that have been far more reliable than our V8 SUV. I know the X5's are much more complicated, but pretty much all of my issues we have experienced so far have been mechanical, not electrical. The e53's sure aren't rated very well for reliability by any major source that I have seen though.
