The official wading depth of the X5 is 50cm or 19 inches. You should be safe moving through water up to that depth, but the trick is not to go too fast, or to stop in the water and leave the X standing in it for any length of time. I not saying it is good for the vehicle, but it should not fail, or conk out on you, if you do not exceed its limits. If you have to traverse a long section of water, keep to a moderate speed and let a small bow wave build up in front of the vehicle, do not go so fast that the bow wave breaks or goes over the hood, and keep going until you are clear of it...
