Maybe... I've watched videos of rear brake pad installations on both the X3 and X5, and the EPB is present in both, but clearly a different unit.
While the diameter and width of the rotors are the same... that doesn't necessarily mean that the....... "offset"??? Is the same. Not sure what term is used to describe the offset or "ET" of a rotor is.... but similar to a wheel, it matters.
Then.... there is the hub diameter to consider as well. Not sure if they are the same. That would also cause non-interchangeability. It is perfectly feasible to consider that the much heavier X5 has a larger hub, larger bearings, etc than the X3 does.
Maybe not.... maybe they fit perfectly.... but there is more to consider than just diameter and thickness of the rotor
