The 2015 X5 should be the 2nd model year of the 3rd generation X5 (F15?). The "facelift" (now referred to as LCI - life cylce impulse) usually occurs around the 5th model year.

For example...I believe the model year introductions for the US market are as listed below:

e53:

1. 2000
2. 2001
3. 2002
4. 2003
5. 2004 (facelift aka {LCI} life cycle impulse)
6. 2005 (facelift aka {LCI} life cycle impulse)
7. 2006 (facelift aka {LCI} life cycle impulse)

e70:

1. 2007
2. 2008
3. 2009
4. 2010
5. 2011 (facelift aka {LCI} life cycle impulse)
6. 2012 (facelift aka {LCI} life cycle impulse)
7. 2013 (facelift aka {LCI} life cycle impulse)

f15:

1. 2014
2. 2015
