It's not how you modify it, it's how much you have to change and upgrade before you get to a finished product that can handle certain trails. Some SUVs come with a lot of off-road capabilities right from the factory, they come with many components rugged enough for off-roading. Other SUVs come with very little. The X5 is very poorly endowed in this area.
Look at a Jeep JK Rubicon as an example. To make an X5 as capable as a stock JK, would cost more than buying a new Rubicon. So yes, pretty silly to do. When it come to SUVs, the X5 is one of the worst choices as a starting point to go off-roading.
