Trying to find out how much pressure is exerted on the front calipers of an M5 or M6.. anyone have the answer? Trying to find a leak in a rebuilt M635 caliper and need to know how much "test" pressure to use - thanks for your help...

ok - found the answer - line pressure is 50 bar (about 725psi) with engine stopped and 70 to 90 bar (1000 to 1300psi) with engine running...
