The oil level sensor is a relatively common problem at higher mileages on most BMW engines/models.
All you need to do is simply change the oil level sensor, which is only 3 10mm nuts and one plug. Easy to do with your next oil change. (oil has to be drained to change it, on bottom of oil pan) And no computer clearing or anything is needed after replacement, just plug and play. I think you may need to remove the metal plate under the engine on the X5 to get access to it, but that isn't that big a deal.

Sorry, didn't read thoroughly enough.
 But 9 times of 10 that is the problem... Do you fall within the specs of this?

It can be a dirty connection, and in the shop if the level sensor itself isn't the issue I check the wires from DME to sensor as well as the resistance in the connector. But that isn't often an issue.

Then you may have something else to look into... maybe your lighting control module needs to be recoded. You could get the dealer to check your service history and see if it has ever been recoded since that bulletin was released.

Weasel... Thank you for posting that TSB above.. My buddy took it and had the update performed.. All is well now!
Bad news is.. I traded the X5 and picked up a new 335i... I will miss the X, but it was time for a sedan. Thanks to all on here that have helped and perhaps I'll be in another X5 in the future.
