WTF!

Since i'm outside of the waranty, i found a local shop which would do the install for 200$ if i supplied the parts.. i found a few places on EBAY that sell brembo rotors + pads for 250-300.

Local shop said they would install. I asked about the sensors he said supply and we'll install..

but, he does not have a computer to reset the computer. My computer states " check brake linings" and the (brake) light is on..

So on ebay i found:
BMW X5 4.4L E53 Drilled Brembo Brake Discs Rotors Set
07/00-Up E53 BMW X5 4.4L
$239.92

or

Cross Drilled Brembo Brake Rotors BMW X5 4.4L F+R $231.00

I'm not planning on any off roading! I drive from staten island NY to NJ for work daily..

If i get this local guy to install ( and save 50% off the stealers cost ).. it'd be great.. but i need to get the warning messages from the computer.

Anyone in NYC/SI/Brooklyn who can suggest any ideas or help me rest the computer?
