Front Brake Pad Wear Sensor, OEM E70 X5 E71 X6 (2007-2010)

The brake pad wear sensor is a key safety component that allows worry-free driving without the need for constant visual inspection of your brake pad material. Once the brake lining dash light is illuminated on your dash, this is a warning of thin brake pad material. Pads should be replaced as soon as possible, and the sensor is a required replacement once the brake lining dash has come on.
