Rear Brake work...
Has anyone used the BimmerLink/BimmerCode app's 'Brake Service Mode' to retract the caliper pistons for replacing pads? I think the last time I did rear pads I removed the parking brake electronic motor from calipers and manually wound to retract. Just interested to know if the service mode thing works well.

When doing brakes I always loosen the bleeder screws then push the piston back. This gets all the nasty fluid out and don’t take a chance in rolling a seal or something in the ABS unit. Then just gravity bleed the brakes to get new fluid through. Just my $.02

Nice being able to do your own work and not be held hostage to outrageous pricing.

Looked at my used pads.....does seem there is bit of difference in thickness comparing inner to outer pad, not huge but clearly noticeable.
