Just wanted to say how much I appreciate this post in 2025! My 2005 X5 has the same popping sound; and I have been baffled as to where it is originating from. I performed the same initial steps as...

Hello,

Over the last few years, occasionally I would get an error of P0597. Frequency could have been 1/year, possibly 2 - but it was a rare thing. I ordered a replacement to install at some...

If you never let the fluid level drop; it doesn't seem like there should have been an issue as there wouldn't be an opportunity to introduce air into the system.

Garrett.fell; thanks for that information also. Right off the "holding the pedal to the floor" seems to answer my question and provide another step to try as I have not been doing that.

I recently had the same code; interestingly enough just before it happened I had noticed it was warming up a bit slower than normal.
