Okay, vehicle is out of the garage and the Foxwell NT510 gets you to the ABS bleed mode with just a couple of clicks. Pretty simple tool to use. Comes preloaded with the correct software for BMW if that's what you order.
I cycled thru the bleed procedure probably 4-5 times and definitely got air out the first several times. Pedal is much better but I think it still seems maybe a little, very little, spongy, but I also just put New pads and rotors on the front which need to be broken in and the rear pads are getting near the end of life so I'm sure it will get better. Plus I'm comparing how the X5 feels compaired to my 545 sport... I'll be ordering new rear pads and rotors and will see if it gets more solid. Bottom line, with the help from this forum, especially Calipsoe, everyone else that post on here and the NT510 I would say I saved probably $900 but more importantly, both rear lines are now replaced and I won't have to worry about my wife's safety..
Thanks all.
