Brake Valve Cap?
Just picked up my '06 E55 yesterday. One end of each of the front brake calipers (both sides) there is a black cap on what looks like a valve. The rears have what looks like a valve but no cap. Anybody know what this is and, more importantly, know whether I should have the black caps on the rear valves?
Thanks
Thanks

Weather caps for the bleeder screws
they are weather caps for the bleeder screws . They should be on all the calipers . front and rear . To keep debris ( road sand , dirt .& Moisture from entering the relief hole.
Have the Dealer install them. They are usually there from the Factory.
