330Ci ZHP

[— kung fu jesus —]

Knocked out these after dinner tonight. Just another OEM+ upgrade that eliminates 17 year old parts, resets a critical system, and future-proofs this car for some track use.

Some fresh Ate 200 and insurance for freeing up brake line connections.


Wheels up, then off. Started with the corners furthest from the master cylinder.


Fresh stainless braided lines going in! Right rear first.




Left rear up next. Smooth sailing so far.




With the rears installed, I recruited my wife to help me flush and bleed these before starting on the fronts. She knows the procedure cold, so 15 minutes later, she left and I started the fronts.

Front right underway.


New line installed




Better shot of the inner splash shield I replaced on the front right.





On to the front left.


Same as the other side. Easy stuff, bless garage-kept Southern cars. Everything came apart like new. I coerced my wife to help me bleed the fronts.

A pan full of crusty lines. No cracks, but the rubber was VERY stiff. Not good for track duty, or any other duty really.






Quick 2 hour job, brakes feel great! Less pedal travel, better feel for modulation. Success!
