The J1772 cable that comes with the car is only able to plug into a household outlet. 110-120 volts, 10 amps. It would take 17-20 hours to recharge your X5 45e from empty.
If you are talented, you could just reuse the J1772 plug from it, remove the cable and attach thicker cable and the NEMA 14-50 plug. I believe the cable that comes with it is not rated for 50 amps.
I have had my X5 45e for a week and never used the charger/cable that was in the trunk. I just opened the bag to look at it for you. :-)
Max 120 volts 10 amps. 1.2 kW

That is the exact unit came with my BMW this month. It used to be Delphi, now owned by Aptiv.
