Looks to me like the door jamb sticker is in conflict with the owner's manual. I wonder if it was applied at the dealer, as opposed to by BMW. It would be worth asking your dealer to clarify the discrepancy, IMO. They should be prepared to search technical bulletins and see if wrong stickers were used, or when it apparently changed.
The owner's manual you show actually states 36 psi rear for fully loaded (ie 7 passengers or a combination of passengers plus luggage), which means loaded up to maximum rated GVW. If you are driving around with one or two people and little luggage, 36 psi would still be too high.

I will contact dealer next week about the discrepancy of door sticker and manual. It would be great that other 12 x5 owner can check and post their PSI# on their sticker.
There are usually one driver and two boys (3yr, 5yr) and no luggage most time, it's typical soccer mom's car. JCL, do you think whether we should even lower the PSI to 32 since X5 has 50/50 weight distribution.
