Yes, it's probably the A/C...
Check and see if your A/C button is pushed. Even though you don't need cooling at those temps the A/C is taking moisture out of the air.

water, almost surely. temp. does not matter. In theory using an AC to dehumidify air when there is over a 20 degree temp differential between the interior air and outside air is a recipe for a short-lived AC compressor.
But, that's another thread. The liquid is all but certain to be water. Brake fluid would have set off an error, oil would have been obvious, and a UREA leak would have also set off a "mileage count down or error. Even the washer fluid is monitored. Tranny fluid is possible, but all of those things are so unlikely for a new X5, that I'm going to recommend what the rest did. Dip your finger in it, or a piece of paper, and smell it. If it's odorless (within reason) it's water and 100% normal. You'll get water pooling even in 20-degree temps., when your car is parked if the AC has been on and most CERTAINLY at 50 degree temps. Again as one other poster mentioned, the temp does not matter. The ac takes humidity out of the air and "conditions" it. Hence the term Air Conditioning. That water must go somewhere. In the case of most automobiles it drains beneath the engine block or near the transmission. When parked, it will continue to drip for some time, sometimes even hours creating the puddle you see. For safety,it's always worth looking at and your question is not a dumb one, but I'm sure you'll find it's normal water. Best and happy new year! Enjoy your X5!
