DimAciD is on a distinguished road
thank you!

Update:
After worrying for last couple of weeks about condensation build up, pulling out dip stick and seeing oil almost white aand i changed oil 3 weeks ago. I finaly took it to my friend (bmw technician) he checked hoses - brand new, someone changed them before me, oil was clear too
He told me to avoid problems i have to drive it! More than my wife does(10 minutes, twice a day), atleast once a week, put something like 100 kms and all condensation will be gone!
So for 15$ a week - i think it is reasonable to avoid all the issues with CCV
I am surpriced that i didnt have this issue last winter, it was cold one too, as low as -40C
He also mentioned that there is a permanent sollution but - 40 labour hours! 5000$ and your X5 will never have issues with condensation
It won't be me getting this fix for sure. It requires something added to engine, which reqiures engine to be taken appart
