E39 M5 brake bleeding, and rear pad recommendations

[Tristan]

Folks, gonna fit rear pads to the 5, the ones on it look like they've been there since new, I was gonna just order new OEM ones unless ye know of better alternatives?

And I'll be flushing out the brake fluid with Motul RBF 660, assuming I don't let the reservoir empty, is there anything to look out for? I was having a look through the Bentley manual for 5 series and they were on about cycling the Abs pump and so on.

Thanks in advance.

You don't need to cycle the abs. Just bleed the brakes as you would any car. Either the two man method or use a pressure bleeder.

Good alternative brake pads.
Pagid rs29
Carbotech
Ferodo ds2500
Performance friction

Nothing wrong with oem

I won't be tracking it, but I do like to lean on my brakes... Cheers Marc
