Low Pressure Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 BMW Z8 and 2002 BMW Z8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Apply brake pedal until pressure reading is 28-70 psi (2-5 kg/cm2 ). Vehicle and gauges MUST remain still to avoid producing incorrect readings. Pressure should remain constant for at least 5 minutes.
  2. If pressure drops considerably, check all rubber components in brake system for leakage. Test both brake circuits and record readings. Bleed brake system after completing test.
