Probably a bush needs replacing. I've heard many ideas to prolong life but felt they would all be short term and want to keep on top of the x5 so it doesn't snowball. My advise get it off the ground pull and poke till you find the culprit then change it

Possible rear balljoint.

Tis possible to DIY if it is that and you have the correct tool.
