Not advisable to mix coolants!If its just a top up ,filled it up with distilled water "NEVER" tap water.,until you do a complete coolant flash .
So, there are a number of common coolant leak possibilities on an x5. The radiator drain is not one I have ever ran across. That is unless the last dork in there mangled it or left it loose.

But I agree water for the weekend, then get real BMW coolant after the holiday.
That is after you find and address the leak.
