    not really, the pump charges it in its leasure, if you hear it instantly you might have a bomb leak or 1 of 5 bazillion other problems.

    In the UK you can ring BMW-UK and give them the VIN number. They will then give you all the history of the vehicle along with the contact details of every BMW garage the car has been registered with, for free.......

    Maybe BMW-NA do the same? Surely it's worth the cost of a phone call?

    I just hear it kicks every once in a while, or if I hit the brakes while parking few times I hear the same kick every 6 - 8 brake hits like the AC clutch going on but I feel it in the brakes and the steering. I just been wondering if that's normal or I have something wrong.

    thats not normal by any means, the pump is constant so you shouldnt feel much at all. the brake bombs are common source as I have been reading on them. How does you fluid look anyways? Mines stil a decent shade of **** and will be changing it out a few more times

    well the fluid looks alright maybe I need to check it from the brake pistons, although braking is alright, it's just that kicking I feel and hear, I just wanted to know if this feeling is normal or not, and now your saying that it shouldn't be felt. that means it's not fine but maybe it's a noisy but still working and it will be down soon ... am I right here?
