E39 brake system 
BMW E39 models are equipped with vacuum power-assisted 
four-wheel disc brakes with  an integral 
Antilock Brake System 
(ABS).  Single-piston calipers  act on vented  front and rear  ro- 
tors. A  brake pad wear sensor  for each axle indicates when 
brake  pads need replacement. The dual  drum-type parking 
brake system is integrated with the rear brake  rotors. 
Electronic braking and stability control 
E39 models were introduced with  Automatic Stability Control, 
a  computer...

Brakes 
Troubleshooting 
Brake performance is mainly affected by three things: 
Q Level  and condition  of brake fluid 
Ability  of bralte system to create and maintain pressure 
Condition  of friction  components 
Air  in bralte  fluid will 
make the brake  pedal feel spongy  during 
braking 
orwill increase  the bralte pedal force required  to stop. 
Fluid contaminated by moisture or dirt  can corrode  the sys- 
tem.  lnspect the brake  fluid inside the reservoir.  If it is dirty  or 
murky,  or is...

1 Brakes 
Brake bleeding is usually  done for one  of two  reasons:  either 
to  replace  old brake  fluid as part  of routine  maintenance  or to 
expel trapped  air in the system that  resulted 
from opening the 
brake hydraulic  system during repairs. 
Read the 
Warnings listed  below  before beginning  the bleed- 
ing procedure  an on any 
E39 car. If air enters the  ACS or DSC 
hydraulic  unit, the factory  BMW Service  Tester MUST  be 
used  in conjunction  with a bralte pressure  bleeder...
