I'd take the MDX. The only advantage the BMW has would be performance, and that's if you're buying one with the V8. If it has the I6, then go with the Acura, hands down.
The MDX will be better for its intended purpose as an SUV over the long-term than the X5. An out-of-warranty, non-certified X5 is going to cost significantly more than the MDX in terms of maintenance and repairs, at least for the typical owner (like me) who does not work on their own vehicles.

CPO X5 and buy the extended warranty, or buy one from Carmax with the extended warranty if you want the BMW.
