34 11 000 Removing and installing or replacing brake pads on both front disc brakes (Teves floating caliper): Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 BMW 328xi, 2012 BMW 328i, 2011 BMW 328xi, 2011 BMW 328i, and 2010 BMW 328xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • Brake pad wear sensor: after removal it must be replaced (brake pad wear sensor loses its retention capability in the break pad).
  • Retaining spring: for vehicles older than 48 months it is recommended to replace the retaining spring!

    So as not to damage the surface coating, if possible do not mechanically clean the guide surfaces for the brake pads on the brake caliper mounting bracket. Instead, clean with brake cleaner BMW part no. 83 19 2 154 780 and apply a thin coating of brake pad paste BMW part no. 83 19 2 158 851.
