Replacing a brake pad wear sensor (rear) (X6 M)
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 wear sensor that has already been sanded 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 sanded sliding contact.
Necessary preliminary tasks:
Release fastening elements (1 to 3).
Swing wheel arch panel (4) upwards.
Installation note:
If necessary, replace defective retaining elements.
Open housing cover (1).
Disconnect plug connection (2).
Installation note:
Ensure proper locking of the plug connector and proper seating of the cable in the brackets.
Disengage cable (1) along marked lines from holders.
Installation note:
Ensure proper locking of the holders and proper seating of the cable in the holders.
Pull brake pad wear sensor (1) in direction of arrow out of brake pad.

Check brake pad wear sensor (1) is correctly seated in brake pad.
Detach cable of brake pad wear sensor from brackets (2).
