I believe the only way to find out the version is to ask your dealer. My X5 was an early production model (12/06) so I initially had a number of issues. I had the x5 reprogrammed in April 07 and it made a big difference. Besides correcting issues when they update Progman they also update functionality (like NAV system and Audio, etc.).

The transmission shifting in my mid-January '08 build is really smooth. It looks like fewer firmware updates are being made available in the last few months because before we had so many members talking about it and now not anymore. Glad they're finally getting it right.

It looks like they finally got it right. Initially the transmission was a mess in terms of shifting etc. After they reprogrammed the entire car in April it was much better with the exception of the DS mode. As i stated earlier it would hold the gears to long and the ride was rough. After the latest reprogramming of the car, I am happy to report that the X5 drives Great!
I did not notice any new functionality though (with last update they changed the look of the Audio and NAV).

Most likely you do not have the latest update. I believe that 28.00 came out in December with 28.01 and 28.02 shortly thereafter. Problem is BMW will not update your car unless there is an issue that requires updating program (it takes several hours). You may want to let them know that you are having an issue with the tail gate soft close malfunctioning (intermittantly) similar to the one that is outlined in Service Bulletin 51-31-0 7. Conveniently the only remedy is to reprogram the entire vehicle.
