Glow plug module, or glow plugs?
All- I'm very familiar with the fact that glow plugs go on the diesels. I did have a failed thermostat, and had to drive on it for a bit. I would assume I'd have to replace the module. What I'm wondering, is maybe it's just the control module? Being that I could replace the control module without pulling the intake, what're the chances that a new module will fix the issue? I suspect I'm fully capable of taking the manifold off, but right now I have no leaks or issues, and I really prefer to avoid removing the manifold if I can.

My next question, now that I've ordered a controller and will have it today, is: Is it actually possible to remove the controller without removing the intake manifold? I just realized that I only know it's possible on the 335d, but I'm not sure what differences there are with the X5d. I have my x5 fully deleted, EGR race pipe up top.

I suspect you can replace JUST the control module without removing the intake manifold. BUT… the control module is buried on the driver’s side of the engine under a spaghetti of vacuum hoses, etc. Here’s what it looks like with the intake manifold removed.
My repair MO is simple — even BMW parts are cheap, compared to my time and labor — so I replaced all 6 glow plugs and the controller at the same time using the ECS Tuning - Glow Plug Service Kit that includes 6 Bosch glow plugs, the control module, 12 intake manifold gaskets and the throttle body gasket.

I'm thinking I might be able to reach the connectors from below, coming up behind the subframe, next to the driveshaft, and reach up to get to them easier. I'll give it a quick shot on Wednesday I guess. Boy, it would be SO nice to have a lift....

I did not remove the coolant line but I may have unbolted a bolt that holds it down. I am not sure if doing this from the bottom side would help.
