For reasons related to anal retention. Scour the master, get the rear lines clean, get the front lines clean........they when he pulls the front brakes, I'll give him a can of ATE Dot4R, he and he's good to go. Max's trip to the shop was a lesson in shops not really doing a brake bleed like you would yourself.
In a weird way this thought makes me feel better about my brake bleed. I've got all new fluid in there but taking it Monday to have it bled as there's air in the ABS system. Between me and them, it should be optimal. :troywax: :doe: :lolol:
On the Bimmer? Ha ha I just jumped into that project one day on the 440i because the wheels were off getting fixed from getting curb rash from the woman. Is there some software/special procedure? Because I put about 4 cans of ATE through that car before I was bubble free. Pedal is hard, no warning lights, all seems well. What's wrong with yours?

All the youtube bros including a couple of BMW mechanics did it normally with no special procedures.

It's a limo with ground clearance and 4WD. Cruises at 90 @ 1900 rpm. The Brola is just right. lets you know what's going on under throttle, no drone. The Brembos are pretty epic, and real weak point solver. I like the sway bars, they are complimentary to the limo purposing. I see T1 Tahoes everywhere now but I could not run one of those they are too long for my garage with the built in cabinets. The T1 has four pot fixed caliper front brakes :doe: and that is probably good enough to obviate the need for this upgrade. Anyway, it's a nice truck, but the high hood makes it feel a lot bigger than the GMT 800, the wifepiece is :notsure: about it yet.

She's back in the BMW for now. I really like the backup camera on the new Tahoe. It has the guide what shows you where you ass is headed and when a car is passing behind you the seat vibrates.
I still think backup cameras make you lazy but it does do things my craned neck cannot.

Does it have the mirror camera too? I had an Escalade rental and thought that was a game changer for a 3 row suv

It does not. I agree that is a nifty bit of tech.

Now that I'm renting a lot of new cars whenever I get back in the BMW and there's no backup cam I am very :wtf:

I think it's a pretty key feature and I am :aintcare: about most features.

It's kind of a necessity these days the way new cars are designed without windows. Get in something older (90's-00's) and the visibility through the windows is ample.
