Re: E39 Brake manual

["Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I own two BMWs, and the task of replacing brake pads is essentially the 
same.  Bentley has a manual for both.  I checked the ETK, and brakes on the 
E39 look like the brakes on my cars, so the same procedures should apply.

You can find instructions here:

http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/brakes/e36_lets_brake_it.html
http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/brakes/e36_changing_brake_pads.html

Also, a good step-by-step guide can be found here:

http://www.racepad.com/tech/bmw/change_brake_pads/change_brake_pads.htm

Again, these web pages are specific to the E36 model, so part numbers for 
brake pads, and perhaps some of the hardware, will be different for your 
E39.  However, the procedure should be essentially the same.
