Does Anyone know how to do it?

I looked around the brake caliper but I did not find the plug.

Thank you in advance.

I doubt that anyone in this forum will help you out because I tried the similar question regarding to the replacement of the brake rotor in E60. No answer at all. This is not a technical/mechanical forum for the DIY mechanic.

I'd tell you if I'd know it. But that's something I let the dealer take care of. Sorry.

Ching-Ho, if you read many of the threads, you'll clearly see that this forum has plenty of technical/mechanical information -- although I can't possibly read every post (I leave that job to Iceman) and I don't remember ever seeing your request for info on the rotor replacement so all I can say is sorry I missed it. If you can, bump it up or post a link to it and I'll see if I can help you out.

widjajachandra, the following document is an overview (more details available if needed) and I must say that after looking at the overview, I think that the fluid replacement task should be left to the dealer!

Good luck...

Hey that's awesome .
Unfortunately I do not have much guts to do it by myself

But I did it already before I read your message for my M3.
What I did was I opened the valve and pressed the brake pedal a couple times and I add the new brake fluid.

Does Valvoline sysnthetic brake fluid have low-viscosity?

Is it ok for what I did already?
Do I need to go to dealer to get the fluid replaced for my M3 because I did stupid thing?

I'm confious now :'(

Rudy

What year M3 do you have (E designation would help too)?

widjajachandra

I have 04 model.

Rudy

You might have done a stupid thing, I'm not sure. If I understand what you did correctly, you might have induced some air into the system.

Here is the TIS document that explains how to bleed the brakes on an E46 M3:

Hope that helps.

I looked last night and found some extensive instructions. I'm heading to South Florida today so once I arrive and have a few minutes, I'll compile all the documents and post it. If you don't see anything in a day or so, feel free to remind me...
