Is right rear caliper, from sitting in the driver seat, or from standing in front of your M5 and polishing the Roundel? Lol Also, i live in the U.S. so i have an E60 that is Left Hand Drive Thanks for the awesome videos!
How many litres of brake fluid do you need to do this? And is dot 4 the correct fluid for my bmw 520d 2009 e60? I absolutly love these videos. Thank you
@georgesafc6589 If the fluid isn't too nasty 2 litres should be fine. I'm 99%sure it's DOT4 but you can double check at the motor factors to be 100% if you like. That's amazing to hear thank you so much. That means a lot to hear that! 👍🏻
Do u need to bleed also at lines next to master cylinder. I just changed my power booster and have the spongy brakes they go down . Awaiting my vizibleed order. Also should pedal get hard after few pumps or its normal until i get air out?
@djvenom1842 Hi, the whole system should bleed at the same time at the calipers so you should be ok just doing the normal procedure. With the engine off the pedal should get very hard and barley move after 1 or 2 pumps of the pedal with the engine running it should have the usual resistance and not be too soft or go to the floor. If it's too soft or goes to the floor there is air in the system. Hope that helps.
GREAT video as always, however , you missed the opportunity to remind people that they should ALWAYS check the drainage bung located below the master cylinder as they can block up, i did mine yesterday funny enough, don`t take offence with my comments, i`m a fussy old git, and when i notice something i comment, have you changed your filming device for this video, ie, changed phone /camera ?
@t5jerry Thank you my friend, greatly appreciated. That's true I usally as you know do mention it but think I only mention the little flap this time. Not at all! I will always listen to constructive comments and appreciate your feedback. I used a mic because of the wind but i wasn't a fan if I'm honest, what's your thoughts?
@@TheBimmerFixer sound was all ok, what truly amazes me is the lack of subscribers you have, your vids are clear and concise , well presented and easy to follow, you should be up there with george whatsisname who also does the beemm vids , maybe you should use some clickbait, like that comic newspaper the daily sport used to do years ago, i remember 1 clearly .............."BUS FOUND ON THE MOON" WAS THE HEADLINE !!!!! you deserve a LOT more viewers..................now, how about that loan 😉😉😉😉😉😉
@t5jerry Thank so much! That really does mean a lot! Well hopefully the more people that find the channel the more subscribers I will get. Yeah could always try that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can i replace my brake discs and pads and sensor first? Because back ones are squeeking. And my brake pedal is firm, idk when or if fluid been changed. So im just asking will it affect anything if i dont do it all in one go basically? Thanks
@moizhaq5840 Yeah, as long as you feel it's ok to do so. If the fluid is still working ok and don't have any contamination in it like water then you'll be fine to delay changing it. I would change it eventually though.
11.35 Do not push the brake pedal to the bottom or you risk damaging the main cylinder/piston. The first E60:s are now getting 20 years old... With all that goes with it.
I'm all good mate just getting the car ready for winter just cleaned all the drain holes. Found water under my spare tyre the other day lucky i moved my modules when i got it lol .Hope your all good and keep the videos coming mate 👍.
@t5jerry Hello mate! 🤣🤣 Video comes out tomorrow just changed the dif oil. I'm all good thanks mate just been very busy with work but got the video done today. How are you? All good I hope!
Thank you for this video really helped me do mine after new disc and pads

Thanks for the awesome videos!
@dr.christophermlawson Hey, are you referring to which caliper to bleed first?
Thanks really appreciate it! 👍🏻
@TheBimmerFixer yes! I was confused if you meant passenger side or drivers side? Also, you have a RHD M5 I believe...
Thanks for reaching out🙂
@dr.christophermlawson Ah ok sorry about that. In your case it would be rear driverside 👍🏻
@TheBimmerFixer thank you for clarifying!
@dr.christophermlawson No problem happy to help 👍🏻

@georgsiotis That's great advice 👍🏻 very good point.
Yeah I agree e60s are terrible for getting water ingress under the brake servo and into the boot area.
@Matthew Barns Hi Matthew Long time no see! Hope you're well. Thanks for the comment!
I'm all good mate just getting the car ready for winter just cleaned all the drain holes. Found water under my spare tyre the other day lucky i moved my modules when i got it lol .Hope your all good and keep the videos coming mate 👍.
@Matthew Barnes Good to hear mate! And well done for moving those modules! What a headache that would have been!
@Matthew Barnes and thank you!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@TheBimmerFixer yeah that would of been an absolute nightmare to be honest lol.
Where you gone old buddy .......I URGENTLY need my weekly fix of " the bummer fixer" As I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms ?
Are you and yours ok ?
