Excellent video. Just tried to change the pads on my '13 x5m. Turns out i had plenty of rear pad. Sensor was bad. The one I ordered from Turner was the right part #, but didnt have the correct wire configuration. Jusy ordered it from bmw. $7 bucks more at $32. It nevet ends, but your vid was dead on. Oh, had to buy new 7mm allen socket wrench. The normal one I had was too big to fit between the shock and the allen screws.

I have a 2007 E70. So would I need to manually retract the E-brake before replacing the pads? I saw that in another video but not sure if that was required for the E-70. Thanks for your help and good video!
No, it is not necessary. Just retract the calipers manual with a screwdriver. You don't need to use a computer to retract the calipers but you need a computer to reset the brake pads life. The parking brake on the E70 has a different brake shoes inside the rotor.
Thanks for the follow-up! Today I replaced the rear brake pads on my 2007 X5 following your directions. Everything worked as you said and I was able to manually reset the brake life without the scan tool. Thank you, thank you for your video!!! This was exactly what I needed.

very good mate. keep uploading videos. thx so much
Do not let your caliper hang by the brake line! Secure it with a cord
Can you reset the computer or brake censor with on board programming
Perfect video! I think my sensor is bad it will not let me reset the service warning.
great video
Dear Francisco, can you please type the commands you went through on the Snap-On from beginning to the end where you "reset rear brake"? Thank you.
Do you need to replace the sensor with a new one ?
I dont have a SnapOn SOLUS Edge. Is that only because you reused the existing wear sensors, or would this need done even with new sensors?
You need new sensor if the sensor is damaged. If not, you can reuse the wear sensor
Is this the same way to do brakes on bmw x6 i35 2011??
Yes, pretty similar. It may vary a little because the pads are going to be different.
what is the name of BMW jacking pad, which you purchased on Amazon?

Nothing happens, only the warning will keep showing up.
Who needs to mask stuff, just spray the shit everywhere lol
Does this X5 not have the electronic parking brake?
Yes, it does have the electronic parking brake.
It has a different brake shoes inside the brake rotors for parking brake only.
