There are 4 Drainage hoses that you should always inspect every 1 2 years

Made a couple of vids on what you should inspect in terms of the x5 if you have any sort of panoramic sunroof

Here is the couple of vids

On X3s you can just reach up under there even with the front edge of the doors and clear them with your fingers, on the X5s you need to get the wheel liner out of the way. But as I said, using a compressor to blow the hoses out works, and works better from the bottom of the drains. Just be aware that you will blow the trash out of the top, so cover up
