Bo knows X is on a distinguished road
Unlike the new Q7 ... Looks like you are correct ... no airbags at all for the 3rd row seats in the new X5.

Attached is a link that describes all the new features in the X5 ... here's the excerpt re: Belts & Airbags.

"Safety belts & airbags As with all BMWs, 3-point safety belts are supplied for all seating positions, including the optional 3rd row. Likewise, all positions include force limiters, as well as adjustable head restraints. Front seats also include belt tensioners, along with dual-stage front airbags and seat-mounted (instead of the previous door-mounted) side-impact airbags. BMW’s curtain-type Head Protection System covers front and 2nd-row seats. Front airbags are newly configured to optimize their 2-stage, accident-severity-dependent deployment characteristics, inflated shape, and interaction with surrounding surfaces and components. The X5’s new body structure makes the previously available rear side-impact airbags unnecessary."
