On one of my vehicles, they suggested a "four wheel alignment", I later found out, that the rear is not adjustable. So are they adjusting to what? just to line up with the back? I do my best to research, to the best of my knowledge. How is sharing a question, bad advise?

from tire rack sight. Not my poppy cock.

"If you are a reserved driver, aligning your vehicle to the vehicle manufacturer's preferred settings is appropriate.

If you are an assertive driver who enjoys driving hard through the corners and expressway ramps, a performance alignment is appropriate for your car. A performance alignment consists of using the vehicle manufacturer's range of alignment specifications to maximize the tires' performance. A performance alignment calls for the manufacturer's maximum negative camber, maximum positive caster, and preferred toe settings. While remaining within the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, these alignment settings will maximize tire performance."

Your advise is not bad and is in fact correct. As for the 4 wheel alignment the X5 is definitely able to be aligned on all 4 corners. I had my rear camber adjusted from the factory set negative 1.5° to as close to neutral as possible to reduce inner tire wear.
