I think you just need to turn the ignition on for a minute or 2 and it should turn the light off...

Thanks!

I've been bedding in the pads so tomorrow I'll see how it looks.

Thanks again

Check your brake fluid level as well

When should I expect the red brake indicator to extinguish?

TIA



That's interesting that the message not the light would change but you do need to do the reset procedure mentioned above after changing brakes and as @ob mentioned if BRAKE is red the other reason for that is either fluid low or hand brake engaged. (though when I had fluid low I also got trifecta)

I took my E53, along with the kids to gets some burgers.

And, to burn off as much of the gasoline content that remains in the tank. ;)

Sunroof install
 
Trying to fix the drain tubes for the sunroof and keep them from leaking. So, I silicone'd them, and put a zip tie on them! Now I wait to dump water in/on the sunroof to see if the problem is solved.


Rebuilding the X5 is taking a while. Ya, I could buy new, but why when the junkyard provides so many useful and functional parts!

I put air in my tires.

Just a friendly reminder about the little things.

I also put air in my tire but it cost me almost $174 USD for welding..... [emoji2959]

I recommend dismounting, cleaning and inspecting your rims annually if you're running low pro and more often if you have steering wheel adjusters (potholes, open sewers or a cousin of the Grand Canyon)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...82ae92c5e4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...80d0730df0.jpg

EOD-your posts are great but the pics are always HUGE and are very difficult to view. Any way to scale them down to fit on a normal screen??
