Problem with Brakes

[jms16v]

I went to take the car for a drive and when I hit the brake pedal, it was very soft and went almost to the floor. When I let go of the pedal it returned to the normal position very slowly. Any ideas what I should do first? I'm guessing it could be the master cylinder or I just need to bleed the brakes, but I'm not sure. Looking for some helpful insight. Thanks

i would try to cleed the brakes, only if you know how..and then if that dosent work do the master cylnder, this happened to my friends e30 and he just kept driving it, i told him he was going to get into a wreck one time, but then a week later his motor chunked a rod, so yea

if this happened randomly then its the MC. if it happened after you bled the brakes then i would say re-bleed
