Nice!

Thanks for the brake sensor solder trick!!

@MrVmax05 You're welcome- MAKE SURE to turn the key on for 45 seconds with the engine off so the computer will register the fixed sensor as good or the warning will just keep coming back on again.

hi ..do u have to change the rotor too when u change pads bmw x5

[briansmobile1]

@escorpiomg1 The rotor is marked a number for thickness. If it's thinner than the number on it. Then you need to replace it. Otherwise no.

@1800NoviceVillage

yes. Should have added that point.

@shinbetUK if the lights not on you can reuse it.

BMW advice that you replace the brake sensors when you change the pads. The rear is a pain as it routes off behind the trim.

@bfree007 You can search for a disc brake hardware kit for it. They also come with many high grade brake pads. Many Thermoquiet ceramic pads come with them in the box.
