The service manual I have says I have to go to a dealer if my vehicle has AST. The stability control button on my 1996 318ti says ASC, so does that mean I am good to go with bleeding the brakes myself?
Yes you can bleed them yourself. A power (pressure) bleeder is a great help. Remember to work from the caliper farthest away from the reservoir and work your way back to the closest caliper, so it would go RR, LR, RF, LF.
Can I bleed the brakes myself with ACS?
