1. Suck all the fluid out of the reservoir. I like to use a battery filler from Autozone:


2. Fill up the reservoir with fresh fluid.

3. Connect Motiv bleeder to reservoir and pump it up.

4. Check to see if their is a preferred bleed order from service manual. If not then start with the farthest wheel and open the caliper into a clear tube into a clear container and watch for the dirty fluid to change to clean. Keep an eye on the reservoir and keep pumping until you've done all the calipers.
does the e90 call for the same procedure? and do i have to do anything special because of the electronic parking brake? do i need to have the key on as well?
