Thanks – it’s helpful to know that this procedure can work on my E90 as
well.
Hello Ben, The fluid is replaced every two year by time as it is
hydroscopic (absorbs water). I do not have a specific tool list for the
brakes but it just requires normal tools such as allen sockets, metric
sockets, and a large channel lock to press the piston on the caliper in.
I like to use about 3 liters to ensure the system is fully flushed.
Do I need to bleed the brakes everytime I change rotors/pads? I have 60K
and doing brake job now. Seems like I dont have to. Also, any tool list you
have put together for rotor/pad replacement on fronts? 2011 35i X5 (E70)
You’d think they could make a nice access door for the brake fluid
reservoir…I wonder why they decided to hide it under the cover like that?
🙂 E60 5 Series is even worse to get to. The cover is used to catch debris
from entering the well area where the reservoir sits and most likely for
air flow for efficient dynamics 🙂 I had one customer stop in and ask for a
brake fluid topp off on an E60 because he could not find the reservoir. An
access door would be a nice touch for us mechanics 😉
