Air Bleeding
The BMW D7 fuel system incorporates a fully automatic air-bleed device.
Prior to starting up after a long rest period or when the fuel system has been worked on,
operate the primer pump some 30 – 50 strokes, which will save the battery and starter.
(For location of primer pump see diagrams on pages 13 & 15)
