See link. See my comments # 5, and then the following comments, and suggestions. http://forums.bimmerforums....

Mitch, It could be your booster providing pressure to the pads, all of the time. My Brakes were dragging all 4 wheels, are the rear discs hot also? I rebuilt all of my calipers, it did not solve the problem. I recently rebuilt my own booster, with new black rubber O-rings. Here is a LINK to a recent...

I also concur, great wax.

Its the best, that I have ever used. Easy to apply and remove.

A real wet look! Slick smooth feel to the touch.

Get the 32 oz, 16 is not enough.

With the trimming foil you don't need a $ 10.00 can of adhesive, and drive all over town. And you have enough left over to sell to you.

Hi Guys & Gals,

I just scored a warning triangle from German E-Bay.

For your information the red case measures 457mm long X 135mm wide X 40mm thick.

Perfect for your M6 trunk battery recess.

Reverse Bleed

Try reverse bleeding the brakes, see attached You-Tube viedo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdf--suwqw0

Works exactly the same as the clutch bleed, you can do it by yourself.

Start at the right rear first.
