I have done this in the past after swapping out my springs...definitely not a scientifically sound practice but it worked for me. Vehicle in the fully raised position (engine off but car still "awake" - wriggle under the vehicle and gentle manipulate one of the sensor arms...if you've manipulated it in the correct direction for lowering, it will let some air out, and vice versa for raising.
Hope it answers some questions. Like I said, not a proper way to do things so please do it carefully.

I haven't gotten the fault code cleared, I thought the ECU would read that its working and just clear itself. How or what tools would I need to clear the code. I just got the X5 like 6 month ago, I had a Q7, i'm new to BMW.
