Brake Pad Question

[Helmuth]

Sensors are front left an rear right if I remember right. Pad change is removing the wheel, opening two screws, changing pads, tightening the two screws, putting the wheel on ..... x4.

Time is ~2hours when you do that with your 16 year old son.

Not sure if that qualifies for $650.

Don't forget the rotors. If your rotors are worn to close to the minimums, replace them too.

Pads, rotors, and sensors for my X3 was a little over $500, plus DIY. Used a friends heated garage, so I had to spring for lunch.

The time was about 2 hours.

Was that for all 4 sides? For the front it seems way to high. If there is a decent size lip around the outside of the rotor surface = time to change rotor and pads, if it is small, 1mm or less (like mine were) they will last one more set of pads. Just be sure to bed the pads in. Its a lot of fun to do!!
