I previously replaced both engine mounts and this did not resolve the problem.

This weekend I replaced the right front CV Shaft in my 2003 X5 3.0l and
now the vibration is non existent and the car drives as smooth as when it was new.
A bad CV joint will cause vibration when it rotates. Your vibration is when the X is stopped. I doubt it was the cause of your problem. Maybe you tighened someting while doing the job that took care of the problem.
