Purple Derple wroteDude. You don't need to convince us. Honestly, I don't care (and you shouldn't care what we think either).You guys. I'm not a bad driver I'm telling you they were all no-fault accidents. I told you what my instructors have said about me already.
Purple Derple wroteSo your brakes worked initially after the service, then failed without warning along your commute? Huh.You guys. I'm not a bad driver I'm telling you they were all no-fault accidents. I told you what my instructors have said about me already.

Purple Derple wroteWhat do you touch when you're doing the brake fluid?I don't even touch the master cylander when I do the brake fluid.
Purple Derple wrotesounds good but you are putting fluid in the master (master cyl=reservoir as you said)I put the fluid in the pressurizer (brake bleeder) hook it up to the reservoir pump it up to like 20 psi. Then I open one brake bleeder line on the caliper at a time starting with the back right (because it is furthest from the reservoir, not sure why just what I was told from my friend) and then I work each corner furthest to closest to the reservoir. I know when the system has been flushed when the fluid goes from yellow to clear to let me know the new fluid has reached all the way to the brake. So I only touch the reservoir and then each caliper.
Purple Derple wroteI have not read your earlier threads so I don't really care about all comments about you being a troll...Why does everyone think this is my fault? You all think i'm an idiot. One guy even suggested that I had put water in my brake system like i'm that stupid. Maybe I did screw something up. Certainly the timing seems like it, but I don't even touch the master cylander when I do the brake fluid. The dealer should have done this work for me!!!!
Purple Derple wroterelax. I was simply calirfying why the other guy said, "so what do you touch when you cange fluid?" in response to the fact you said you never touched the master as you did. Again the master is the reserveSo does unscrewing the cap = damaging the piston seals as well? I DONT THINK SO.
Purple Derple wroteHow old are you?You guys. I'm not a bad driver I'm telling you they were all no-fault accidents. I told you what my instructors have said about me already.
Purple Derple wroteYou should be able to find another used M3 like you found this one.Hi Guys,
I was supposed to go to the track this weekend but my brakes failed on the way there. Pedal just went to the floor and the car didn't slow down. I was able to avoid another car but I hit the guard rail pretty hard. I don't know if the car is totaled or not. Sucks because they don't make 4 door M3s anymore so I can't replace it if it is totaled. Also just sucks in general. It didn't occur to me at the time to grab the hand brake tho I don't know if that would have helped. Waiting to hear from the shop that towed it and the adjuster to find out more.
Purple Derple wroteYou clearly introduced air into the system, and put undue stress on the master cylinder and it broke and could no longer hold pressure.So does unscrewing the cap = damaging the piston seals as well? I DONT THINK SO.
