My Mechanic just replaced all 4 pads and both front and rear sensors today. We both tried the turn on ignition and wait for a minute. turn it off and start. Didn't work. Any other trick, should I just get a tool that will reset or should I just have BMW reset it?

Thanks!

There is nothing to reset, if the sensors were changed. It goes off after a few minutes. If it doesn't, it is likely that the sensors are not connected properly, as an open circuit is the same effect as a worn sensor.

That's weird, the error message should disappear when new sensors are installed. Are you sure the replacement sensors aren't worn?

both brand new sensors.

Did you have the key in position 2......Phil

yes, position 2 for 50-60 seconds. turn 0 then start -- still the same.

:iagree: Everything should go back to normal after driving for few minutes

Try not returning it to position 0, just start it and drive it.

As the guys said above, they will eventually go off if they are connected properly. Older BMW's E36, etc would go off after a longer interval and even BMW had an SIB saying that there was no specific interval, they would just 'eventually' turn off!

Double check the pin connectors if they are not bent. They are easily bent if inserted improperly
