Just got my June 2014 copy of Consumer Reports magazine in the mail. They finally reviewed the new X5. It is rated as the highest in its category of Luxury midsized/large SUVs. (above MB GL350, Acura MDX, Range Rover HSE and Sport, etc.). Headline of the article: BMW X5 outpaces the Range Rover Sport to top the luxury class. Very favorable review from a source that is reasonably fair about ratings.
Interestingly, this link to the review video online seems to paint a little less favorable of a picture:

Nevertheless, they seem to like it and appreciate most of what it has to offer.
