I was just looking at depth and miles.

Is it super uneven? Might be some pressure adjusting will help....

It is pretty even wear. These days some tires have treads at different depths so the center and inboard tread wears out first. I guess they do that to the tire gets a higher cornering specification?

I'm running them at 36 lbs. cold. I always get a 4 way alignment with every set of new tires.

Tire technology seems to have improved lately. My latest set of 19" Michelin are super close to the wear bar at 50k miles and wet traction is still very good. I am normally like you and prefer to change them earlier rather than later. We get 80" of rain per year here.

80 inches! Where?

There seems to be a lot left on those tires. However you can always start looking for tires early. I just replaced tires on my E93 with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, what a difference, the car drives amazing, it's a completely new car. I will definitely look for Michelin's for the X5 as well when it's time for a change. Costco was also running a special on Michelin's however America's tire matched it for me.
