Brake bleeding

[flybobbie]

Small note.
If you work on brakes and use OBD BMW abs brake bleed routine, do it again a week or two later. Seems to push out the last few bubbles and brake pedal goes a bit heavier more responsive.

I noticed this when i had to replace master cylinder last year and again now with replacement abs.

Its also worth knowing that for a period of time BMW fitted faulty bleed nipples where the hole on the end does not go all the way through. So if you are struggling to get flow pop the nipple out and double check

Front left nipple is solid, no ball inside.
I have to remove it completely and fit a piece of pipe to match the thread.
Should really buy one to fit.
