Burnish Parking Brake

SaltyNC · 01-22-2016, 07:25 PM

I searched but couldn't find anything on this. BMW service recommends burnishing the parking brake on some service intervals. Are they talking about applying the parking brake gently while the car is in motion?

And on a similar line of thought, do most of you grease your wheel center bearing?

Thanks!

I found this in the BMW TIS for the e85 M roadster for burnishing the parking brake as recommended during Inspection 1/2. So, pretty much as thought, you apply the parking brake gently while the car is in motion for a short duration.

I rank this procedure right up there with putting winter air in my tires. The rear wheel bearings are sealed on my 3.0i
