Arrow X5 Release pressure
I have a 2002 X5 3.0 purchased it little over a year ago, yesterday i noticed that whenever I park the truck and within seconds after I turn off the engine I hear a pressure release sound...! not knowing where is it coming from or what is the cause. any idea ?

It should be the pneumatic rear suspensions!

Very few 2002 x5 3.0's have air suspension, but if he does then that is it

I have the same sound as well!! you shut the x off.....get out, shut the door and by the time you are walking in front of the X you hear a swooshing release of pressure......

no worries....I have had that sound for a very looong time...I am not concerned.....

.........but if you spend the time and money to find out what it is...please let me/us know...

This is normal for 3.0i engines. You should be worried if its not making that sound after you shut off your engine.

I agree with rear air suspension, though tough to diagnose without
any of us "being there"...I have '01 3.0, with rear air, and sometimes
when parking on a crazy incline, (common at our Mtn house area),
I hear a "sigh" from the rear. Maybe it's jes' a fart, ;>)

The swooshing sound you been hearing fromt the front driver side fender .....That is from the cold air intake system.
