When your German car tells you it needs new brakes, give it new brakes! Ve do not make frivolous idle conversation and neither do our Autos!

I LOVE IT!!!

In the old days they called these lights idiot lights.
Im beginning to see why.

Is your e-brake up a notch? Make sure its fully down

Just a suggestion...those sensors trip really early. Its very likely you have a few thousand miles of brake life left in those pads.

If you don't know how to check the thickness of the pads then take it to an indy shop and ask them to take a look.

Look for yourself? Just peek in behind the wheel and see how low they are. But they trip when your below 2mm of thickness i believe.

Hey guys i had same issue with my e92 . It happened a couple of weeks ago , every now and then i go on the service option and see what "lifetime" or "in how long will you need to change me" thing for each component i.e. brakes , oil , plugs etc .. Last time i checked it said that my front brakes had 25000km left before changing them and the rears about 27000km before changing them . So one morning i get into the car and i have the brake light showing on the dash and these pictures . How can the sensors just go out on u like that front and back at the same time . So should i just reset it like they say at
The beginning of the post or is it that my sensors need replacement and i checked all 4 corner pads and discs seem all okay !
Thanks guys

My ses light came on heading to va. When I got home I was trying to reset but at that time I was trying to reset my brake pad setting.I put new front and rear brakes about 8 months. But when I try to reset the brake it showed no miles behind the mls.
