Hi David,
I did (do) read the owners manual and it did not anwser my question. Also i did a search and i did not find my anwser. All i am asking is the correct way to check the brake fluid level.
A. when the engine is running
B. when the engine is cold
C. when the key is in turn to the pos I (not running but lights on dash).
I am just new to the BMW engine and the owners manual is kind of weak and just gear to the non- DIY person. Like i stated in my 1st post: On the Range Rover Classic you have to check the level when the key is turned to pos. I and have to wait in tell the pump has turned off and the fluid drops down. My brake level seems to the MAX mark but i just wanted to know if one i am checking it right. We are going up to Door County for are 5th yr of my wife welding the ring onto me (LOL).
The PO (one owner) seemed to keep up with everything and i bought it at the BMW dealer were she bought it from. I was going to look at all the items she had done on the X (at the dealer). When i bought the X the sales person let me look at the computer w/ all the maint invoice and she seemed to take it in for everything (even light bulb changes) which was a plus when we decide to get this one. I will soon get the brake fluid flushed if i do not see anything from the BMW dealer invoices.
Nice pic of your X in the sig
Cheers,
