Introduction
A common question that car owners ask is how much brake fluid to flush their E46 M3. This article will provide an answer to this question, as well as highlight the benefits of using a brake fluid flush.
How Often to Flush Brake Fluid in an EM3
Brake fluid is a viscous fluid that helps to stop your car. Over time, brake fluid can become acidic and cause damage to your car’s braking system.
Do not flush brake fluid unless you are instructed to do so by your mechanic. Flushing brake fluid can harm your car’s braking system and may even cause it to fail.
Instead, regularly check the level of brake fluid in your EM3 and add additional fluid as needed. If the level of brake fluid is low, you may need to flush it. However, if the level of brake fluid is high, adding more fluid will not help. In these cases, your mechanic may be able to fix the problem by replacing the brake pads or discs.
Conclusion
If your E46 M3 is having brake problems, you should flush the system with fluid once a month. BMW recommends using a BMW-approved fluid and making sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions. Follow these steps to flush the brake system:
1) Remove the wheel and tire
2) Remove the reservoir cap
3) Pour in enough fluid until it reaches the “Max” line on the side of the reservoir (about 1 cup)
4) Replace all parts and reinstall wheel and tire
