Thanks guys! This board is a wealth of knowledge!

Interesting thing to note: When I left the car yesterday the brakes were locked up on all four corners. I went out there this morning and they were still firmly locked up! This sounds like good news to me! If I had a leak or an MC problem it probably would have relaxed over night.

Thanks for mentioning the clearance issues with the 320i calipers. Yes mine had the 0.125" milling done to them before I put them on.

Looks like I'm going after the PValve first. Some tech article I read somewhere suggested cracking open the output of the PValve and having a family member push gently on the pedal. Sounds like it will evenly distribute brake fluid all over me and the engine compartment but will it help get the air out?

I'm still going to look at the MC push rod clearance but only after I bleed that PValve.
