WHY !!.
so now I got to find where I can get 2 new ones of them , so now I got a dsc error still AND a break check linings error
I'm not happy
I bought these for $32

SET OF NEW ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS FRONT REAR LEFT RIGHT FOR BMW E53 X5 2000-04

because mine are over 100K miles and well, IMHO, the over 100K stuff like this doesn't owe me anything.

The old ones were frozen solid in their spindle mounting holes. The only way I was able to get them out was during my front end rebuild including CV axles and tapped on the backside of the sensor to force it out. Wire brushed the corrosion out of the hole and then lubed the crap out of it for reinsertion of the old. When I got the new ones it was easy to swap them in.

I'll install the new rear sensors soon when I do a rear suspension rebuild and replace those CV axles as well.
