Brake pads sensor.
Hi everybody,

I just noticed that the brake pad sensor on my x5 is on. Looks like I have to change the brake pads. Is it the front or rear pads? Thanks

There are two sensors on the vehicle for the brakes....one for the front left brake pads and one for the right rear. You will have to check each one to determine which.

You tell us...you two sensors. One on the front and one on the rear. Just look at the pad thickness with a flashlight.

I just ordered the front and rear sensors (one fron and one for rear) plus the break pads for all four. I have no idea which one is bad but I will change all
