I would say, the initial steps are to:
- identify what spec he needs/wants - colour/alloys/toys
- decide how he wishes to pay - cash/pcp/hp
- search the BMW AUC site for the X5s that tick all the boxes
- get on the phone to the dealers and start asking for their best deal based on the payment criteria your friend gives them.
- once you have a few figures, start playing one dealer against the next to get the best and most acceptable deal.

He could potentially get a cheaper deal by going away from the main dealer network, if this is what is needed start searching autotrader.
