You can bench bleed it in place, by looping the outlet hoses back to the reservoir. Then pressure bleed the entire brake system. You may still have air stuck in the ABS system. A reference for next time, if you bench bleed the master, then install, and bleed a little right at the master, then the next fitting down the line, there is no need to bleed any more, unless it's time to flush.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There is supposedly a method to flush while the ABS pump runs. Or brake hard to invoke the ABS, then bleed again, repeat. I haven't done it myself so I can't say for sure. When the car is built, the brake system is first evacuated, then filled.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On the E36 at least, you can jumper a relay to run the ABS pumps with the key in "run." E34 may be similar.

Bent the #$%! out of two of my rims and slightly bent another. Damn :-( While looking at the rims, I noticed my tires are in pretty sad shape too. So I thought I'd look around for someone parting with a set wheels with tires. I have 16" Double Spokes from the E36 sport package now. Something similar with good tires would be fine. I'm not looking for anything fancy or to spend a ton; this is just my DD. Anyone got a spare set of wheels they're looking to move? I'm in southwest Houston.

The factory must see some benefit or perhaps hindsight in doing so. Yes, you're right, no seat time in an E46 M3 (std or CP) just curious. -Kevin --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TSMC PROPERTY This email communication (and any attachments) is proprietary information for the sole use of its intended recipient.
