Coming to a stop sign, had to exert an unusual amount of force to the brake pedal to stop. Going to the dealer to have my brakes checked under the BMW brake recall, I was told I had no oil in my brake line, but the car was diagnosed with a vacuum pump oil leak. Remedy was to replace pump and clean, for $1300. If you look on the BMW e60 forum, and others, there are numerous identical complaints. Something has to be done.
