That lifted the wheels up so those two on that side were now in the air. I don't think that air suspension has enough travel on the X5, but it might be interesting to check...once up all the way, put a sturdy block under the frame and lower the suspension to minimum.
I am visualizing a mass of BMW engineers turning over in their graves in response to this suggestion. Graves that they initially ended up in after having simultaneous heart attacks upon reading that suggestion. Sounds fun, someone should try just to test for that effect :-).
