2001 X5 4.4 traded in with 100 plus with original brks and rotors
2004 X5 4.4 sport with 80 now and still going on original brks and rotors

Wish the tires on the sport would do as good.

Thanks...I changed my front brakes 3 days ago... very simple. the only issue that i have, is the "chekc brake lining" message hasn't gone away. should this take a while, or should i have changed the sensor too. Thanks

You have to change the sensor.
