Many used cars are BUYER BEWARE, previous owners got the cream,
you get the sediment.

On the other hand my 06 530xit has 180+k miles and still runs with no warning lights on the dash or weird noises.There was not much done to it under warranty and in the last 20 k miles I replaced the alternator and pass side front axle with support. It is as complicated as any X5 and weights almost like X5- GVWR 5100 lbs.Oh,and it's a salvage,which along with the high mileage would render it not worth more than aluminum in it.
Dealing a lot with older BMWs my opinion is that most of the problems come with the age,not the mileage.Generally the electronic equipment does not wear with the mileage,it just gets old.Also,generally,BMW drivetrain and suspension is ,if not bulletproof,very reliable mechanically.
