Disregard the "sealed trans" BS that BMW service techs and SAs spew, the trans IS vented to the atmosphere, in THAT location.

TiAgX5, your answer seems to fit best but I'm surprised the tube is that far forward in the engine if it is for the transmission. I couldn't find the part diagram showing this on realoem.com. ART-qitec, the SIB you referenced is for a 2006 X5 which makes me believe the part was already updated in later models. Thanks to both.
I did discover what that red handle on top of the battery compartment is for - transmission emergency release, didn't know that. I suppose that's in the owner's manual
