Do I have to buy new sensors when doing new pads???
Hey guys my brake light just came on saying I needed new Pads on the front and back. I was about to order new pads but didnt know if I needed to get the sensors as well or if I could reuse the ones I have. I have a 07 335i coupe with 24k miles. Thanks

Make sure you only get 2 sensors b/c that's all you need.

Just FYI, if you're a DIYer and keep want to save a buck and just gauge when you need new brake pads, you can just tie up the sensors and the car will read everything as normal.

Once the light is on, the sensor is done and has to be replaced to turn off the light.

I need to do this myself as the brake sensor light just came on.. Does anyone know what the part number for the sensors is?? I'm probably going to go with aftermarket hawk pads. Would there be an issue with these and replacing sensors?

Cool Carbon has some excellent pads as well if you want to PM me for more info on them. The coefficient for frictions is much higher than the OE pads in comparison, so you'll easily stop quicker

i purchase aftermarket brake pads and the oem sensors worked fine, also, best thing about changing your brake pads to aftermarket is "no more brake dust"
