Brake Question

[stefman]

A few days ago, when turning on the car, got a message that need to change the rear brake pads. The warning, was still on the next time I turned on the car in the same day. However, the next day, there was no more warning message and now it says that the rear break pads need to be changed in 4000Km.

Anyone know what it could be? Is it false alarm or the sensor went crazy or what? Thanks.

Re: Brake Question

Regardless of the message popping out, time to change the pads... Along with it, the sensor will be replaced as well snd the meter resetted.

Alvin said stock is d best. Stock brake pad is Textar. Call up Eng Soon or Golden Link to check out the price. Not forgeting there is 1 front & 1 rear brake pad sensor.

Also, run through ur rotor (when it is cold). If smooth smooth, no need to change.

Sorry, I mean brake pad botak. Down to about half mm.

I changed all four at a regular workshop at Ubi. Remember about $600 including sensors.

Re: Brake Question

Hi .. need advice from fellow forumers.

For F10, is it normal to change rear brake pad at 24K mileage? I do normal driving and do not go tracking. While I understand that such wear and tear depends on driving habit .. I have never come across the need to change brake pads for my previous rides .. partly becos I sold them around 60K mileage.

Re: Brake Question

Re: Brake Question

Need to hijack this thread as I am not allowed to post a new thread.

Just collected my F20 116i few hours ago and now the brakes are screeching real loud especially on slow braking.

SMS the SE and he said it is normal as the brakes are running in.

This is my first BMW, my previous ride was a Saab 93 and I don't remember hearing such loud screeching.

Please advise whether this is normal running in phenomenon.

Thank you,

Disable all brake sensors.... and check every servicing. Save my headache of seeing the error messages continuously.... and save money on Sensor cables
