Hi
was looking for the oil pressure switch on my x5 diesel 3d
and I noticed a solid pipe next to the oil filter housing which is not connected to anything
does anyone have any ideas what this is?
pipe went towards bottom of engine

Not easy to tell from your pics, but it might be the front diff vent? Does it look like
this?

Pics take from further back/wider angle would be easier for us to see and tell you

X5Sport is right, that's the front diff vent pipe, supposed to be like that, nothing to worry about.
