Will I need any special tools? I have never done a brake job on a E23. From what I've heard, they eat pads, so I'm willing to make an investment in some tools to facilitate a complete brake job. BMP has brake fluid bleeder tank for $50. Do you use something similar? Will this method of bleeding work with the ABS system? My '86 735i has the ABS system (first year for it I believe)

Thanks for your input.

I concur with Jens on the tools. A bleeder is nice. Your e23 should not be "eating" pads.

I disagree with Ralf on OE as the OE pads are _quite_ dusty.
