Bleeding brakes

[FCBuff]

Uggh. No. That seems excessive. 1 day. Find another dealer? Just tell them, be specific, that you just need a brake fluid flush including activation of the ABS system. Shouldn't be a big deal honestly.

In ISTA+ go to vehicle management / service function / chassis and suspension / traction control / brake bleeding routine / brake bleeding procedure. This option will be grayed out unless you let if you let ISTA+ perform a full vehicle test first.

How do you get ISTA+. Asking for a friend...

No, it's an hour or two job,

The dealer finally did the bleeding of the brakes and abs, I have been testing the car and if I put the car on D first gear and don’t give gas and the car slowly moves forward and I try to brake softly then still the pedal goes to the end, does this mean there is more problems in the car ?

One other thing is when I changed the brake deposit I bought a second hand one it was from a vom: BMW E70 X5 40d xDrive 2011 and my car is a E70 30d 2007 would that be the problem

If the dealer returned the vehicle to you in that condition, that's really bad. If you can press the brake pedal to the floor, either there is air in the system (unlikely, since they just bled it) or there's a problem with the brake master cylinder. They should have tested the brakes, and should never have returned the vehicle to you if the brakes aren't working properly.

They said they tested the brakes and they were working fine. They didn’t test it how I did the testing by driving very slowly. Also they put a notice on the invoice saying if you still have the same problem then it could be the brake booster or deposit

Went to the bmw today and got quoted 1800$ for repair of brakes. They need to change brake booster and brake deposit. I’m really thinking to get it done or not.
