I got my H&R sport springs put on yesterday, it looks really good. Anyhow I drove home from the shop last night, no probs. I get in my car this morning and my nav pops up and say something like "warning brake pads are worn please call BMW and make an appt". I went back to the shop and they checked all the sensors and showed me and all wires and sensors are fine. Has anyone ran into this problem? Thanks guys. Will take pics in a few

that's odd, many people have changed out their springs now w/o a hitch

I had a break light and stability control light come on shortly after I lowered the car. Turns out that a steering wheel sensor was causing the problem. I needed an alignment. Had the dealer do an alignment and after that everything was fine. No more warning lights.

just use the hand brake....lol

i had that too, took me 2 trips to the dealer to fix it, now its fine, and i lowered on h&r sports too

What was the problem with your car, was it also an alignment issue?

[ehhhwik]

yea, my alignment was off, steering was off center, but im sure alignment could fix that, but its the brakes sensors that were screwed up, when i brought my car in for service, they told me the on board computer told them that i still had "999,999 km" left till brakes service...WTF, my brakes will last longer than the car itself?

My yellow brake light was on after the lowering, but once I got the alignment it was gone. Not sure what the brake light and alignment have to do with each other.

So they replaced the sensor and it solved the problem?

[ehhhwik]

i am not sure, they told me they just hooked it up to the machine over night, and i picked it up the next day and everything was fine, but keep in mind, i did have to take it to the dealership twice before everything was fixed

[ehhhwik]

i think the first time i brought it in, they just reset the ECU, cuz it only took them 30 mins and my car was out...

[whitecord]

you probly didnt plug the break were sensor back in on the driver front wheel or passenger rear. check your connections

I ended up getting this fixed the same day, they just reset it like I asked them to with their code scanner. Problem fixed and no lights on. Oh and if you search you will find pics of my install
