BMW e60 5 Series Brake Booster Failure
If your BMW e60 5 series has a brake booster failure, we can help! Bavarian RennSport offers affordable rates for Jacksonville BMW repairs and service.
Introduced from 2004 through 2010, the BMW e60 5-series includes the popular sedan and station wagon models, as well as the super powerful M5 and a variety of security vehicles. All vehicles have common problems, and the e60 5 series is no exception. One common problem is the brake booster which can fill with oil and start to fail. A brake booster failure could be a dangerous issue and should be addressed by a trained BMW repair specialist, like Bavarian RennSport, as soon as possible.
Some drivers note that it is hard to apply the brakes even when they drive at low speeds. They have to push the pedal all the way down to the floor just to get their e60 5 series to stop. They say it does not happen all the time, it happens occasionally. Drivers complain that the brakes will work just fine, but then one day they have to slam on the brakes even when coasting toward a red-light. Again, this happens infrequently, so some drivers overlook the issue.
Some drivers say they have “fixed” this issue by turning off the engine and re-starting the car, or they put the car in neutral for a minute. The car will then drive fine for a while, but the brakes will start acting up again.
In some models, the problem has been pinpointed to a faulty hose to the vacuum pump. When the hose fails, it will begin to leak oil into the brake booster. The hose, booster and master cylinder are part of a BMW recall (for some models with v8 engines). Contact our independent BMW repairs center to and see if your vehicle qualifies for the recall. It is not necessary to go to a dealership, a local BMW technician can assist you.
