Total brake fluid capacity

NiNeTyOne · 05-29-2016, 07:00 PM

Anyone know the approximate total capacity of the entire brake system for the pre-LCI 328's?

On my old Audi with a Brembo kit, one full bottle of SL6 could bleed the entire system, not sure on the e91.

Thanks!

Did the brakes on my 335i today. Not sure about the 328i, but doubt it will be much different. Used about 3/4 of a liter with ATE typ 200 doing a flush. Should give you an idea of how much you need.

Exactly what I was looking for, just wanting to know if one liter would do it. I believe your calipers are a bit bigger volume so I should be all good.

Much appreciated!

Don't we both use the same master cylinder?

You can get away with 1 liter, but should get 2 as a back up. If you are bleeding the ABS unit, you will need a lot more.
