maybe just minor like the air servo hose that connect from engine to brake system. that one easy to detect, when u switch off ur engine, bunyi macam ada angin keluar for few second. if that happen, got leaking lah..change that hose...cheap fix !

Hi all sifu need your advice on the brakes too...i've upgraded my front disc brake n caliper for my ride model e36 318 97 to a e36 325 brake which i got it from the chop shop. The problem is the brake pedal when i step on it, it is very low and sometimes i'll accidentally step the accelerator and the brake pedal together. This is quite dangerous.
Hope all the sifu will advice me whats the problem. Thanks in advance

This is the sort of problem best sorted out by a qualified mechanic, since it involves stopping your car in time, i.e. the personal safety of yourself and your passengers.

Go to a good workshop and get it done properly.

Yup, check the hose.

I had the exact same problem as you did earlier this year. Felt like the braking was lighter than the supposed pressure.
