Install brake pedal tensioner

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2023 BMW M5, 2022 BMW M5, 2021 BMW M5, 2020 BMW M5, and 2019 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Press the brake pedal to the floor and fix the brake pedal tensioner (1) .

Do not release the brake pedal tensioner (1) until the brake lines have been reconnected. This prevents brake fluid from emerging from the expansion tank when the brake lines are opened.
