In this video I will show you my process for replacing the front brake pads, rotors, sensor wires and everything else that comes in the ECS Tuning BMW X3 brake service kit. If you have performed a brake job on other German vehicles, this is very similar. Please let me know if you have any questions in the comment section below!

I would love to see more videos on the X3. There aren’t too many people demonstrating procedures on either the E83 or the F25. I would have also demostrated the important final steps of monitoring the fluid reservoir when compressing your cylinder on the inner caliper. And, of course replacing the cap of the brake fluid reservoir, before pumping the pedal. It’s also good practice to spray your entire assembly with brake cleaner and use your rotor box to collect the mess. Thanks again.

Excellent videos, the best in image quality, technical details and explanation, even though my English is very bad. I have a question about the brake sensor, if the pads are changed before the warning, is it necessary to change the sensor? Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge

Good video, thanks. Can I re-use the brake pad sensor since is still good and brake warning never came out? Also, my car has 100,000 miles and brake rotors never been replaced and still look and feel fine. Can I keep them to save money or I must replace them? Please advise.

May I ask why you open your brake reservoir? Why would you want to send dirty contaminated product back into the pump? Why don't you open the bleeder with a drain hose and compress it that way? It's also the best time to flush the brake fluid. It breaks down as well. It also absorbs water which when hot creates steam expansion in your brakes.. this way also, if you have to do replacement on your caliper, you don't contaminate the new caliper with old fluid.

After I replaced my front brake pads incl. discs the pedal is quite soft? Why? Do I actually need to bleed them? I never had to bleed after only changing the discs and pads?

@BawkBawkBawk666 Жыл бұрын

Most likely yes. But I'm hoping that the year since this has been responded to hasn't resulted in catastrophic disaster. Also flushing the brake fluid is a good idea too

Did you have to replace the sensor cause you broke it, or should you replace it anyway. I can get the rotors and pads at my local auto parts store but not the sensor. Or do I buy a kit with the sensor. The brake light just came on the dash. Original brakes with 62000 miles. So is the light for the front? Or do you think both front and rear will need to be replaced? Thanks!

@ModernEngineer 3 жыл бұрын

The sensor needs to be replaced. It usually comes with the pads.

If the sensors did not come with the pad you can get them from the local BMW dealer.

Is it necessary to replace the rotors? The dealer wants to replace them but the rotors don’t seem scored or worn.

@ModernEngineer 3 жыл бұрын

It depends. If the rotors are still thick enough and not grooved, you could go without. However with the price of rotors these days, I always replace them anyway.

@@ModernEngineer I found the tire dealer slammed my locking lugs so tight that two wheel keys were damaged while trying to remove them.
