How do you come to suspect an issue with the air suspension...when your description seems to involve the front end appearing to drop? Are you sure you're not assuming that the position of the front wheel's affect when they are turned to complete lock isn't what you're experiencing?

The e53 X5 4.6is only has the single (rear) axle air suspesion...EHC I...and the front axle has conventional coil springs & struts/shocks (sports tuned...but conventional):
