- In this video I will show you my process for replacing the front brake pads, rotors, sensor wires and everything else that comes in the ECS Tuning BMW X3 brake service kit. If you have performed a brake job on other German vehicles, this is very similar. Please let me know if you have any questions in the comment section below!

I would love to see more videos on the X3. There aren’t too many people demonstrating procedures on either the E83 or the F25. I would have also demostrated the important final steps of monitoring the fluid reservoir when compressing your cylinder on the inner caliper. And, of course replacing the cap of the brake fluid reservoir, before pumping the pedal.
It’s also good practice to spray your entire assembly with brake cleaner and use your rotor box to collect the mess. Thanks again.
Used this video to reference how to change my front brakes, thanks for the help!
This video was extremely helpful from both an explanitory and visual stance. Thank you.
Excellent video. Was really helpful in changing the brakes on my wife's X3
best video for x3 brake pad replacement so far. detailed from all important angles. it's good to show all required tools before start the work.
Excellent videos, the best in image quality, technical details and explanation, even though my English is very bad. I have a question about the brake sensor, if the pads are changed before the warning, is it necessary to change the sensor? Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge
Well done. Nice garage!
Can someone post the torque specs for the referenced bolts? Looks like BMW has blocked the linked files. Thx
nice video, thanks and greetings from holland
Good work👍😀
Hi,
Thanks for the Video. What torque do I have to use to tighten the brake calliper?
Great video brotha
Great video! Very clear what to do.
As a note, as of 9/22 the links to the torques specs do not link. Seems they are closed down by BMW. Ideas?
Good morning. What size is the hex bolt that holds the rotor on?
Great video but can’t get the torque specs per the link. Looks like the sign up process is closed. Any ideas?
Good video, thanks.
Can I re-use the brake pad sensor since is still good and brake warning never came out?
Also, my car has 100,000 miles and brake rotors never been replaced and still look and feel fine. Can I keep them to save money or I must replace them?
Please advise.
What is the torques of bolts? Link in describtion could not open
May I ask why you open your brake reservoir? Why would you want to send dirty contaminated product back into the pump? Why don't you open the bleeder with a drain hose and compress it that way?
It's also the best time to flush the brake fluid. It breaks down as well. It also absorbs water which when hot creates steam expansion in your brakes.. this way also, if you have to do replacement on your caliper, you don't contaminate the new caliper with old fluid.
why can't i reset my breaks. It doesn't give me that option when I have hold on to that button
Simple
Do you need to put new rotors on every brake replacement ?
No.
After I replaced my front brake pads incl. discs the pedal is quite soft? Why? Do I actually need to bleed them? I never had to bleed after only changing the discs and pads?
Most likely yes. But I'm hoping that the year since this has been responded to hasn't resulted in catastrophic disaster.
Also flushing the brake fluid is a good idea too
@@BawkBawkBawk666 Actually I went downwards our hill and had no brakes... rest is history. :D
Naah Kidding, everything is fine. After the automatic handbrake had recalibrated itself and after some brake pressure pushing, everything was normal and fine.
Did you have to replace the sensor cause you broke it, or should you replace it anyway. I can get the rotors and pads at my local auto parts store but not the sensor. Or do I buy a kit with the sensor. The brake light just came on the dash. Original brakes with 62000 miles. So is the light for the front? Or do you think both front and rear will need to be replaced? Thanks!
The sensor needs to be replaced. It usually comes with the pads.
@@ModernEngineer ok thanks!
If the sensors did not come with the pad you can get them from the local BMW dealer.
Can you show me how to reset the brake service light
It’s at the end of the video.
It didn't really show how. Where do you go, step by step please. Great video.
@@ModernEngineer In the video you say "press the reset" but you never showed where/what you were pressing?? Hence the valid question
Is it necessary to replace the rotors? The dealer wants to replace them but the rotors don’t seem scored or worn.
It depends. If the rotors are still thick enough and not grooved, you could go without. However with the price of rotors these days, I always replace them anyway.
@@ModernEngineer I saw the price and it’s cheap enough to change them. Thanks!
@@ModernEngineer I found the tire dealer slammed my locking lugs so tight that two wheel keys were damaged while trying to remove them. I waiting for a new key and then they are going to try to remove it. FYI order directly from McGard versus the bmw dealer because there is a huge difference in price.
I really want to do this but with 0 experience working on cars it's probably a stupid idea. I love DIY projects and learning stuff though.
Thanks, Usefull!
Pitty that the toque spec documents are blocked by BMW
