Where is the fuel tank vent valve located on a BMW X5 e70?
In most cars, the EVAP vent valve is located underneath the vehicle, close to or at the charcoal canister near the fuel tank. For that reason, it often fails due to corrosion. The most common problem with the vent valve is when it sticks open or fails.

I have a 2006 BMW 5 Series 530i 4d sedan, how can we adjust the idle speedrpm
Your engine is controlled by the PCM. The idle can be adjusted by entering the computer system using INPA with a K+DCan cable, or the BMW diagnostic system. If by chance it's too high, look for a vacuum leak. Generally speaking if you are careful, you can use a can of carb cleaner (carefully) by spraying a small amount at a time near the vacuum hoses and the intake manifold of a vehicle to find the leak. As the carb cleaner is drawn into the engine the car will change idle speed to help you zero in on any leaks. Too low then there must be a fuel/air issue and you should have a code present. Good luck:)

2004 bmw x5 is stuck in 4 wheel drive
Hello. It seems your B.M.W.'s PCM (Powertrain Control Module), inadvertently, 'engaged' 4WD on it's own; without your knowledge. Disconnect your Beemer's battery and wait 10-15 minutes then reconnect it. Start engine and drive your Beemer somewhere. If it stays in 4WD, then, another 'reboot' has to be done. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.
