    The brakes would have to work before they could be bedded in.
    Most Bendix pads have the "titanium stripe" and don't require bedded according to their own advertising.
    I think we need more info from the OP.
    PS if you do bother to bed , don't hold the HOT brakes on after you stop as you may tattoo your pads image onto the disc causing other problems.

    If your not going to reply to answer posts how the hell are we going to help.
    I asked what year model and whether you have 1 or 2 brake lines into each front caliper, the 2 different systems bleed completely different to one another and if not bled properly you will continue to have no brakes, Regards Frank.

    Brakes

    Did you use an aftermarket or generic master cylinder rebuild kit? I had endless issues trying to get my brakes to work until I installed an OEM rebuild kit. For some inexplicable reason the generic kits wouldn't work.

    and this, too;
    Instructions for bedding in your brakes

    After almost 20 years working on these vehicles and others, I would stress this is an important part of replacing brakes.

    They're not race cars on race brakes mate. I'm not going to start a "my experience dick is bigger than yours'' argument, but the many M3, M5, M6 BMWs (and other similar vehicles) I've worked on for many years that many were were thrown around race tracks, never had any issues with my bedding in process.
