Low-Pressure Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 2005 BMW 760i, 2005 BMW 760Li, 2005 BMW 745i, 2005 BMW 745Li, and 2004 BMW 760i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Perform test on both brake circuits, front and rear.
  1. Unscrew vent plug. Connect pressure tester and vent. See Figure.
  2. Load brake pedal with a force of 30-72 PSI (2-5 bar), and block pedal with pedal support. Car and measuring equipment must remain perfectly still as vibrations will distort result.
  3. Pressure should remain constant during five minute test.
  4. Check all rubber parts in case of excessive pressure drop.
  5. Bleed brake calipers and wheel brake cylinders after finishing test.
