I know the 3.0 X5's have intake boot failures, and I'm fairly certain you have the same issue with your 4.4.
Absolutly!!!
Check the air tube going from the mass meter to the intake. If you, or anyone, has been under the hood it can get easily knocked off. Also check you vacumm lines all over the top of the engine.
