I believe that one of the transmissions has a keyway to disconnect the transfer case but I could have been imagining that from the manual.

maybe brakes are locked on a little. It should push easily. Maybe get a little more oomph to get it moving.

As long as the transmission is not malfunctioning you just need to push harder. It can take up to 5-10% of the weight of the car to get moving from zero aka 250-500# of force. You can air up the tires to their maximum allowable to help

You should be able to push it in Neutral. Try harder? Is the emergency brake on? Has it been parked for a while and the rotors rusted a little bit? Are the tires flat?
The X5 is a heavy truck to move. My driveway is flat and I can't push my X5 into the garage by myself either.

If it has been sitting very long they are very hard to push. I can't push mine unless I face away from the vehicle, use my legs and rock it to get started. If there is the slightest incline or the wheels are not straight--not a chance. It's a good way to start having back problems. Realistically, it's a two or more person job.

thank you everyone that replied so fast. my x5 had been sitting for over a year, so as you guys suggested I believe the brake rotors were a little rusted. I also underestimated the weight of the vehicle and I definitely was not able to move it on my own.
I was lucky and was able to get the car started enough to limp into my garage on it's own power. I owe everyone a beer! thanks for the help.
