Brake DIY question

[mthreecpe]

Time to do new front rotors, all pads, and brake fluid in my driveway. I've done rotors and pads on other BMWs, however want to make sure I won't encounter issues with the fluid flush. My driveway isn't great for this, so I'll do 1 corner at a time leaving the other 3 tires on the ground. I'll also likely have to turn the car around half way through. Am I setting myself up for frustrations with having to disconnect and reconnect the pressure bleeder a few times?

My guess is that each corner can be done independently (yes, I know the order) but wanted to confirm. Thanks.

No problems with what you described.

You won't have any issues when you move the car around, just make sure the fluid level in the reservoir doesn't get too low.

A power bleeder does make the job way easier, especially if you plan to bleed your brakes more often (tracking the car) and you're on your own.

Easy job, but a word of caution. There is a vacuum sensor under the master cylinder that will short if ANY brake fluid drips on it. If it does, the secondary vacuum pump will run too much and your car will start throwing codes and eventually limp mode. Just be careful not to overflow the master cylinder or spill any fluid.

If that ever does happen, you can buy a China sensor for $17 on Amazon instead of the $70+ hose/sensor from BMW. But best put a bunch of rags over the sensor to avoid the issue altogether. All else sounds like you're good to go.
