- When working on the brake system, proceed with particular caution and observe all notes.
The brake system is one of the most important safety systems on any vehicle.
- Remove and install the wheels only with the aid of the wheel lifter (see applicable BMW Workshop Equipment).
This avoids damage to the carbon ceramic brake disc and brake caliper.
- Ensure that the carbon-ceramic brake disc is not subjected to any stress caused by impacts or collisions with hard materials.
This avoids damage to the ceramic surfaces and edges.
NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
