On the fronts I bled the outside first. This final bleeding I did in the 'proper' order starting at the passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front and lastly driver front. A few months earlier I flushed the fluid, including the ABS. This requires Rheingold and starts at the driver rear. For the rest the process is similar but you do need a friend to operate the pedal when Rheingold tells you so. Please note that I did not do this after the MPBK install. For both the bleeding and the flush I used a pressure bleeder. Hope you can solve it! |

The key for me in this process was the ISTA function while bleeding the brakes. When activating the pump during bleeding, the amount of air that started coming out of my lines was mind blowing. I couldn't even finish bleeding because air just kept coming out and I ran through 2 liters of fluid and ran out of fluid. I'll bleed again next weekend using this process but my car is driveable now so that's a good thing!

Yes I have it up and running. It was not an easy task. Took me 6 hours... I downloaded files and programs one at a time as the instructions called for it. I feel like doing it that way helped me stay organized through the process.

A little update and a good news: after finally changing from oem ///M pads to Ceramic pads Power Stop 161429 - noise is gone!
Now í can enjoy my f85 drilled rotors in complete quietness. They go for $25 currently https://www.rockauto.com/?carcode=1501225&parttype=1684 - so my understanding is that oem ///m pads are metallic and way too hard. That caused noise and lots of dust. I'm hoping ceramic pads will also be free of dust as well. I'll update on dust experience. Last edited by DuSh; 01-02-2019 at 05:28 PM.. |

Here is a pair of calipers recently popped on ebay if anyone is looking for a set, They are black if anyone is for a modest look. I am not associated in any way with the seller, just came across these while browsing

Today I was swapping pads at the local indy shop and these brembo ///m calipers are so easy to swap pads at. Just 2 pins and pads are off. Guys were surprised to see that kind of style of calipers where you don't need to take anything off. However, to my knowledge Toyota also has similar style calipers on SUVs. Mechanics said they never saw such huge rotors and calipers. They probably never saw M5 with 405mm either lol.

Received my new Calipers from Ntownsend82 yesterday and they look awesome. Brand-new black calipers, no wear or damage and with pads included for $750 shipped to Denver, CO. At this price, it was a no-brainer and the shipping came quickly from Europe as well. I believe he has a pair or two left and is still cheaper than beat up used options on Ebay. Paid through paypal and his communication on everything was excellent.
Now I need to buy rotors, for those who purchased BRAKENETIC off of ebay and have been driving them, any feedback thus far? Noisy? Vibrations? Regarding coding, I tried to follow the instructions provided on a BMW Autologic unit and could not modify the entry as suggested earlier in this thread. Anyone else figured out a way to do it? Anyone pay a BMW shop or dealer for the coding? Cost? Many thanks!! |

Still a good buy though. I got the Brakenetic rotors and pads and so far they are fine. The jury is still out because I haven't completed bleeding all the air out of my lines so I think I'm getting 75% braking power or so right now... but I plan to do that this weekend. As far as coding goes, hopefully someone else can chime in. I tried to code mine and think I did but I'm not sure since I couldn't tell a difference. Is this what its supposed to look like when you successfully code? I posted this in the coding thread a week or so ago and never received a response. I honestly don't even know how important it is. I never coded my F30 M Performance brakes and it is completely fine. Untitled by mikew2069, on Flickr

Also there's another set for sale on ebay for $1089 E70 X5M brake and caliper both front and rear set with rotors. Snag em while you can. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E70-X5M...E45:rk:15:pf:0 Last edited by Mr.47; 01-07-2019 at 11:06 AM.. |
