Break pad sensor warning
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2019 8:22 am
Hey guys, I’ve had a warning light come on my 35is suggesting I need to replace my break pads as they are worn. Strangely it doesn’t tell me front or back though?
I’ve read on some previous posts it’s quite often the sensor goes but the pads don’t actually need replacing? On visual inspection it looks like I have maybe 25% left but not sure, it’s hard to see.
Car says 4,000 miles left in front and 18,000 on rear
If they do need doing, I assume discs will need to be done as well, what’s average Costs?
If I took it to local bmw specialist will they be able to tell me whether it actually needs replacing? I’m assuming they will just say yes to get the work..
