Wish I saw this video a week ago! I have just done the front discs and pads on my F11. Could not for the life of me separate the caliper from the carrier, so ended up doing the whole job with them together. Those anti-rattle clips are a nightmare too! 🤣
Excellent video! Great tip about the rotor retaining screw - these can be a real pain to remove if they're corroded. I have a 550i similar to this, and the biggest challenge for me was reinstalling the anti-rattle clip. I used new ones since the originals were seven years old. The Akebono ceramic pads are very good and don't make black dust like the OE pads.
I have 2013 550i I replaced oem rear pads at 35k miles I got pads from fcp euro. Front pads I didn’t do they had bunch of meat left. I’m currently @72k miles still have bunch of meat left I think I can go 10k mikes with originals. Great video
Why do you need to remove the guide pins if you're removing the caliper bracket off the wheel carrier anyways? I usually just unbolt the caliper bracket bolts and swap the pads that way. Is there a disadvantage to doing that?
Can you please do a video of the rear brakes for the F10. The electronic parking is something im not sure what to do. Some say use a scanner to the put the EPB in "service mode" and some say to manually push the caliper back in with a torx bit. I hope a video can clear this information.
great video - thanks. One thing: I've seen where the brake pad reset feature on the dashboard computer is performed after the job. Is that something that should be done at the end?
Did the same job on 2016 f10 528i... but did not change the sensor. Is this the reason for chassis stabilization and parking brake lights being on? Not quite sure how to get rid of the Christmas tree in my gauge cluster...
In the video where you replace the HUB, you mention the e-Torx screws holding the carrier are recommended to be replaced. In this video, you're reusing the Hex Bolts that hold the caliper. Can you clarify which one is correct? The E-Torx as single use while the HEX are not?
🤚🇵🇱🤚 7mm - 30Nm 8mm - 35Nm 9mm - 50Nm According to the NEWTIS instructions, the guide screw with a diameter of 9mm should be tightened with a force of 50Nm. There is one more thing: before you retract the piston, it would be a good idea to slightly unscrew the bleeder and connect a hose to it so that the old brake fluid can be pumped out while reversing. Of course, you need to top up the fluid at the end. Regards....😉👍
These videos are cool to see. However, there are a ton of us dying to see a tool list and DIY for the X5/X6 e70/71 (2008-2014 x6) (2011-2013 x5) how is it different from the f15s and one Gareth did about a year ago? Thanks
I wouldn't be surprised if the brakes were the cause of the pulsation since the "old ones" were oe style pads. They don't have an expansion slot down the middle like the akebono pads which means they can crack and cause issues like pulsation, that being said I didn't see any cracks on the old pads when Mike was compressing the caliper. You can also see that the oe textar pads left behind pad material on the rotor which causes brake pulsation more often than not, again it didn't look too bad on the outer side I only see one oddly shaped spot, and on the back side I could see a little one. However when Mike was torqueing the wheel down there seemed to be quite a bit of movement in the front wheel suggesting tired control arms, they look original and at 9 years old and what looks to be at least 50k miles on the car they are bound to be worn. I guess when we get a suspension DIY video for F10s from FCP we'll know what the outcome was :D
Porque no pasas el Ista D para resetar el cambio de frenos y reseteo del equilibrio de los mismos, ademas del reseteo del marcador en el coche, estaroa bien enseñarlo al completo, a no ser que solo lo allas echo asi y esta mal porque no va estar reequilibrado y se va a desgastar uno mas que otro.
The only thing that truely needs grease here- the guide pins, BMW says is optional? Edit: a very small amount of dielectric grease for the sensor isnt a terrible idea either

this guy is a legend. he has saved me thousands
One of the best dyi videos i have ever seen
You have just helped my very significantly. First time doing the pads, rotors, and upgraded stainless brake lines! Keep up the good work!
excellent tutorial!! save us driveway mechanics hundreds of dollars!!
3:56 My 2014 F13 650i has the exact same cover with the same process of removal. I like the F10 content and would like to see some more! :D

Excellent Video, I'm new to the channel and I definitely want to see a Brake Fluid change video as I have a 650I.
It's b/c of these videos that I buy from you guys. Thank you!

There is no disadvantage, I believe that this was done to show a FULL removal and installation of the pads and rotors.
Can you please do a video of the rear brakes for the F10.
The electronic parking is something im not sure what to do.

On our list!
I allso need a video on this
@@fcpeuromust be a very long list 🤣

Nice and clean video!
Do you have to “prime” the break pedal or break system when you’re done installing pads and rotors like some other vehicles?

Can you guys do a Porsche Panamera transmission fluid change video
NEW SUB Excellent!! video !! i just got a 2012 535i xdrive! this helps me alot
Can we do 2013 650i gran coupe X drive videos
These videos are cool to see. However, there are a ton of us dying to see a tool list and DIY for the X5/X6 e70/71 (2008-2014 x6) (2011-2013 x5) how is it different from the f15s and one Gareth did about a year ago? Thanks
I have a 2007 525 and just ordered replacement injectors. Do these need to be coded after install?
Do you know if this torque spec applies to 2014 535i

Wouldn't you check for rotor runout before replacing?
can you do a 530i 2018
If you're in there doing a job, whether it's a customer's car or yours your diagnose it, don't let them do it. Check it for the damn bushings already.
True. He shouldn't have told the back story. However, this video is about pad and rotor replacement and he did an excellent job explaining that
What about F07 550i vehicles?
Porque no pasas el Ista D para resetar el cambio de frenos y reseteo del equilibrio de los mismos, ademas del reseteo del marcador en el coche, estaroa bien enseñarlo al completo, a no ser que solo lo allas echo asi y esta mal porque no va estar reequilibrado y se va a desgastar uno mas que otro.
Is the 535i xdrive the same? It’s a 2013
The idea remains the same! Some hardware sizing may vary.
Wish you showed an actual photo of where the anti rattle clip was supposed to sit
Do you mean Trq-Lbs-Ft instead of Newtonmeters? 110 Nm would be insane.
Per BMW, the two 18mm M12 Bolts are torqued to 110NM/81FTLBS.

My hex screw is rounded on the first f**king one I've tried to fix!!!! This is why I don't touch fixing cars myself even though I know how!!!
f10 can use f02 750 caliper
want to mention its a 7mm hex not 9mm. unless my f10 is a one off
Thank you for the note, Anthony! We have seen both.
why the f@@k should i replace my pads and ROTORS every time!
hey Hanz !! you think you can make this car more difficult! to work on ? .......... Ja!! otto !! hold my STEIN Beer mug ,!!
