34 35 001 Replacing a brake pad sensor (rear): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW Z4, 2012 BMW Z4, 2011 BMW Z4, 2010 BMW Z4, and 2009 BMW Z4. 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 an already ground brake pad wear sensor has to be replaced although the MINIMUM BRAKE PAD THICKNESS has not yet been reached, it is necessary to file down the new sliding contact with a file to the same length as the ground sliding contact.
