Anyone out there using the Speed Bleeders on the first generation ABS Beemers? Do you recommend them? Thanks Ken in Katy TX. :dunno2:

Yes & yes.

At the calipers AND the ABS cans, both of them on ABS 1

+1.
I added speed bleeders when I replaced the rear brake lines last year. Brake fluid change is almost too easy now.

Speed bleeders may be for the unskilled. But I'll take the advantages for us unskilled over soft or no brakes at 80

Black & White cage on side of road in a 45 zone. That's when I found out I sucked at bleeding brakes.

Gotta love it!

Brakes, or the over reliance on brakes, will get you into trouble much quicker than the throttle.
