Quality video mate. It's great to see correct procedures, for example, using an axle stand, correct torque settings, and cleaning up the caliper before re-fitting the pads.
Great video bro. Switching from Infiniti Q50 to M4 and I’m used to doing the maintenance on my Q and this is straight forward. Similar to the process on the Q
Thanks for the video - one note - You used the E16 star socket but my 2016 435i ZHP with Brembo msport used a standard 18mm socket sadly i went and bought a set of of the E Star sockets before I knew . Odd that they are different ( I’ll probably return) Again thanks for the video- helped me get through my pads and two piece rotor install -
Nice video. Viewers should be aware that standard brake cleaner is highly toxic and you should wear impermeable gloves when using it. Also, avoid breathing the fumes. I have a background in toxicology, and the chlorinated hydrocarbons in this stuff will kill your liver (i.e., liver necrosis increasing your risk of liver cancer).
Good point! Any advice on any PPE to use? I have a 99.97% rated particulate respirator, but I am not sure about using this with regard to chemicals. Better than nothing, I guess?

When u clean caliper I’d make sure to use wire brush right where the pads slide. I even used a cotton swab with break clean on it to make sure it was smooth and clean
Great vid - I'm thinking of doing this on my F32 MSport. A few of questions. 1. Please can you clarify the socket size, there were two sizes mentioned here. Also please repeat the torque measurement. 2. What lubricant did you use for the pad - Does it need a specific product ? 3. A general question for all viewers - Which rotors do you recommend (UK market) ? There has to be a good middle option between the dearest and cheapest. Thanks in advance.
Nice thanks, my son has the M sport in need of front disks and pads but when I look online it says there is a few variables but his callipers look exactly like yours. Could you provide a link to the Brakes and disks just for reference? Thank you so much.
Yes, here are the links to the pads and rotors that I used, links can also be found in the video description. There are different versions of the rotors and pads depending on the package the car has, the rotors on mine measured 370mm across. If he has the m sport caliper painted blue like mine, then these should work.

I need to look at my brakes on my F31 335d as I have a slight brake judder.....I measured the front disc run out and only had 0.02mm on both discs.....so must check the rear as 0.02mm is not much!!
So if you want to support it the correct way you would need adapters for the plastic part that you’re talking about but I’ve supported it on the area right in front of that jacking point. You could also use part of the front subframe or the back subframe to support it as well. With that said here’s a link to a video that shows you how to jack it up the correct way: th-cam.com/video/ISHpkxt4cEw/w-d-xo.html
No I haven’t noticed any difference from before but you wouldn’t notice any vibration from going to a 1 piece rotor. They are a little more heavier so there could be a minute difference in stopping but i honestly haven’t noticed any at all
They probably didn't grease the caliper sliding pins we also grease the back of the pads where the piston makes contact or they could've put the hardware where the pad slides on incorrectly causing it to rub against the rotor . If there is drag when your driving your caliper might be frozen
Ive got a 335d MSport xdrive with the blue calipers. Im getting lots of brake squeal at very low speeds. Any suggestions what is causing this and how to fix it?
If the pads have a a good amount of pad material on them, it's likely due to dust that can collect on the surface the pads slide on and may just need to be cleaned out.
Very easy. I assume you found it. if not, on the dash, bottom left theres a control that lets you navigate the onboard service menu. press to navigate, hold for up to 10 seconds to reset
How do you like the brakes? Are they good. I was thinking of getting the same ones. Do they make noise? Some reviews on Amazon mentioned noise. Also read somewhere that they wear down quickly. Any help would be appreciated. Love the shirt btw.😂
So you possibly have the same brakes I need for my 2018 430i coupe M sport package. Which exact brake pads and rotors did you purchase from RockAuto? I don’t know anything as far as what thpe brake system I have.

Mine is a 2014 435i M sport with the M sport brake package. BMW has 3 different types of brakes they use on the 4 series; one is for the regular 4 series, one is with the M sport package and another one with the M sport brake package. This process will work if you have the M sport package or the M sport brake package but it’s different if you have the single piston floating caliper design.
Question I hope you can help me lol I have my bmw 428i convertible 2016 and I wanna install the m performance calipers that I had already but I wanna know if I need to change the rotors ?
speedy juarez Yeah he’ll need new rotors if you currently have the stock single piston brakes. I’m not sure what size the stock ones are but for the M sport mine were 330 mm. Hope that helps!
i.c AK The only pads I have used are the stock BMW ones and the PowerStop ones, which I have linked in the description. If I was to choose I would choose the PowerStop pads because they do not create brake dust like the stock ones do.
Good job mate, but you downgraded your brakes with this rotor! If original BMW rotor was too expensive you should at least bought two pieces rotor, with this rotor you’ve added around 1 pound of unsprung weight which is noticeable! Anyway good video!
B_G_ FLAT yeah I know I noticed that they were one piece after I ordered them and I had an appointment for the inspection already so I just figured I’d use them in the meantime lol
The wear sensor is only on one side I don’t remember which side but you can’t miss it, it’ll be attached to one of the brake pads. And it can’t be reused You’ll need to get a new one.
@@rattuautoworks7547 thanks for that I thought it could be reused what is the reason it can’t be is it attached to the brake pad? The car says it has 1000 miles left and the pads have a fair bit of meat left on them still
@@mgmmotorz5004 Oh okay ,yeah I was thinking you’re changing the pad because the warning on your dash cam on. In this case if the sensor hasn’t came in contact with the brake rotor you should be OK but if it has then you’ll need to change it and that usually means the brake light will turn on on the instrument cluster as well. If it was me I would probably change it but obviously you don’t need to if the sensor hasn’t worn down.
i.c AK No, if they are still in good shape you don’t have to change them. Mine were out of manufacture specifications so I replaced them with new ones.
BMW has 3 different brakes on this car. 1st was the basic one where the front and the back brakes are the single piston type, 2nd is the M sport package + M sport breaks package these have four piston brakes upfront and two piston brakes in the back (this is what I have on this car), 3rd is just the M sport package this includes four piston brakes upfront and single piston brakes in the back and they are not painted blue (I think this is the one that you have so they’re not fake, you likely just just have the M sport package without the M sport brake package).

Quick question 🙋 can u put link down for rear pad too ? Also rotors gonna fit either u put in front or rear right !!!
In the U.K. we never “resurface” brake discs (rotors) we always just replace them if they’re pitted or scorn.
Hi, have noticed much difference in braking since you put a single disc on?
Any vibration?
My bmw has M Sport Brakes. Mine are the BMW two piece
No I haven’t noticed any difference from before but you wouldn’t notice any vibration from going to a 1 piece rotor. They are a little more heavier so there could be a minute difference in stopping but i honestly haven’t noticed any at all
I’ve had new pads on my 440i and the squeaking is awful, any idea why because they’re good quality pads
They probably didn't grease the caliper sliding pins we also grease the back of the pads where the piston makes contact or they could've put the hardware where the pad slides on incorrectly causing it to rub against the rotor . If there is drag when your driving your caliper might be frozen
Use OEM
just quick question, how much mm spacer did you put on?😅
Ive got a 335d MSport xdrive with the blue calipers. Im getting lots of brake squeal at very low speeds. Any suggestions what is causing this and how to fix it?
If the pads have a a good amount of pad material on them, it's likely due to dust that can collect on the surface the pads slide on and may just need to be cleaned out.
