ABS front brake issue

[41107]

After replacing front brake pads I see brake fluid coming from the vent hose. Is this normal after pushing the caliper pistons back to make room for the new pads?

I would say yes if you have been “topping off” the brake fluid during regular maintenance. As pads wear, pistons extend and lower fluid in a master cylinder. Topping off takes up the space so a push-back of the pistons can displace the now excess brake fluid.
Good to keep any spillage off the paint. Warm water with dishwashing detergent is my go to.

If you have iABS, it’s pretty normal. Filling the internal reservoir per BMWs spec is a little too full for pushing the pads all the way back.

Thanks, for the help. I thought so but just wanted some one else's input. We don't need abs issues just before the rally.lol
