Yep. Get your X5 towed to BimmerHaus in Broomfield and have Jim Leithauser diagnose it for sure (and repair it).
Do. Not. Drive. It.

^I'm with admranger and hippee, sounds like a head gasket. If you're not going to tackle it yourself, I'd highly suggest having it towed to your local BMW shop.

The only possibility other than a head gasket is that a couple of hoses got switched when reassembling, but not a single coolant hose, that I can think of, needs to be touched to do the valve covers.
And that coolant line would need to be switched with a oil or breather line. I can't think of one...
