Hello, my wife owns a BMW X5 4.8i, N62 V-8. While driving back from the zoo with my kids, she got the SES light, and called me in a panic. The car was driving okay, but still had her worried. I ran a code reader on it when I got home from work, and it popped a P0444 code for evaporative emissions control system faults. I cleared the code and test drove the vehicle, the light didn't reappear, and drivability was fine.

I guess this is fairly common among the N62 community (and with BMWs in general) but I can't seem to get a lot of information as it relates to the N62-powered X5. Does anyone have any insight or experience with this one? I would prefer to not throw random parts at it without narrowing it down.

PS: I did remove, clean, and retighten the gas cap, just in case.
