34 35 513 Replacing a brake pad sensor (rear): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5 M, 2012 BMW X5 M, 2011 BMW X5 M, and 2010 BMW X5 M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
The brake pad wear sensor must be replaced once it has been removed (brake pad wear sensor loses its retention capability in the brake pad).
If a brake pad sensor that has already been ground has to be replaced even though the MINIMUM BRAKE PAD THICKNESS has not yet been reached, you must observe the following: The new sliding contact must be filed down with a file to the same length as the ground sliding contact.
