E53 brakes are really basic, no special tools needed.

The one and only "special" tool is a 7mm Allen (hex) wrench or bit socket, to undo the slide pins.
Pretty easy to not have that tool, so I figured I'd mention it.

And a 6mm allen for the rotor screw to hub.

Just remember that for bleeding....
You must have a bidirectional reader like Foxwell NT-510 or INPA, etc. to activate the ABS block or you will never get it bled. Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk

Tons of DIYS on the internet, you can search for them.
Basically, a few tips... 1. The X5 is heavy, so I use 2 jack stands for safety. I posted photos in bimmerfest E39 forum... 2. Rotor retainig bolt is 6-mm. Here can use an L-shaped key. 3. The sliding bolt is 7-mm. I find the socket being much better than the L-shaped key. Clean the inside of the bolt with a tiny screwdriver bc if you don't, the 7-mm socket may not "bite" properly ---> Stripped bolt! 4. As long as you don't allow the reseroir to go empty during bleeding, no need for any special tool such as INPA, Foxwell and all that jazz...
