Can you like to an e53 that has had this happen?

As I said, I've never heard of that in an e53... anyone here ever have that happen? Maybe it's just an e70 thing for some reason? I realize the parts are the same, but maybe it has something to do with mounting or??? I'm not standing up for BMW here... I just want to know if this is something I should think about or not.

Not yet but soon.........but there are a lot[hundreds] that had problems with the v8 2004-2006 .

Okay, did a little (emphasis little) reading on it... looks like if you have not had a failure yet it can prevented by rerouting the vacuum hose.

Going to pull the booster vacuum hose and check for oil. If there is none, I'm going to see about rerouting it, put a "catch can" inline, or check for updated parts.

BTW... And this made me feel A LOT better, you don't lose braking. You only lose power assist. *phew*

Edit: Just looked up the e53 (4.8is) braking system vs the e70 (4.8i) braking system and they use all different parts and routing according to realoem. Is that correct? I looked up a 11/05 e53 and 10/06 e70... am I missing something?

Edit x2: Here's the link to the NHTSA recall doc by BMW. Going to check the X5 tomorrow to see if the vacuum lines are run similar to the E70's. The straight down drop is what looks like is causing the problem. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs...3v045-3498.pdf

Edit x3: Because braking is fairly important... hah, I continue to do research. Found this thread: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...cuum-pump.html and am going to do the R&R per the recall doc and Junky's thread. Fingers crossed I don't have to change the booster.

So I'm guessing part numbers 4 and 6 are the lines that need to be replaced?

Not expensive at all. And I guarantee Craig at BMW Open road will be cheaper. I'm going to test mine and possibly order it.

Anything is better than paying retail parts prices in a BMW dealership when your car is up on the lift and they got you by the balls
