Brake pad wear sensor wires are key safety components that allow worry-free driving without the need for constant visual inspection of your brake pad material thickness. 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.
This Original BMW front pad wear sensor is the same you'd get from a BMW dealer, but offered at a better price and shipped conveniently to your door. Buying a Genuine BMW part ensures the best fitment, ideal operation, and longest lifespan possible. This sensor is specifically for the 2006, 2007, and 2008 Z4 M Roadster, M Coupe, and Z4 3.0si (N52) models. Not for cars before the the 2006 model year, and only for the later 3.0si or 3.2 liter S54 powered models ONLY.
Extra benefits of a Genuine BMW brake pad wear sensor:
- Precise factory fitment
- Worry-free driving until dash light illuminates
- One sensor required per axle
TECH NOTE: On a majority of applications the brake lining light can be reset easily by installing a new sensor and turning the ignition to the second position (without starting the car) for approximately one minute - or until the light goes out. Refer to your Bentley service manual for further instruction if this method doesn't work.
