No updates are available for either phone and we're not running pre-released (Beta) software.
When I try and select CarPlay in the iDrive screen for her phone, I get two separate profiles. One with the CarPlay symbol only and the second profile with the WiFi 'Fan' but then nothing works and the CarPlay profile disconnects and reconnects then fails to pair. My phone shows up with a single profile.
I tried removing her phone profile from the X5 and removed the X5 from her phone, waited an hour, hard restarted her phone and tried to re-add her phone to the X5 but I get the same results.
I'm starting to suspect something with her phone and have checked for restrictions and such but nothing seems to jump out. It's also curious since CarPlay worked fine with her phone and the previous (F15) X5.
Has anyone encountered something like this?

You need a WiFi connection for CarPlay. I presume WiFi is turned on her phone?
Did you try with only her phone in the car. Maybe you can only link one iPhone at once with CarPlay?
