Not sure but I think the bolt pattern is the same, so yes. Not sure about the hub size either. You may need to use a hub-centric ring.

The main problem I think may be the wheel offset. There may not be enough offset in the rear - in which case the wheels will be further in and may not look good. You could probably add spacers to compensate.

On the front, without the proper offset the wheels may stick out the fender. In this case, there's no way to fix this that I know of.

A lot really depends on the wheels specs.

Yes it is possible... I have a 1994 740iL (E32) with 19" Chrome M-Parallels that I just robbed from it and mounted them on my E53, perfect match. They do ride a lot better on the X5, but it should be expected because I had very low profiled tires on the 740iL, while the X5 have a lot of rubber on them.
