Brake Parts and help

ItBloo · 07-05-2017, 05:33 PM

I'm hearing squeaking on light, slow braking and it's annoying me. My iDrive is saying my fronts need to be replaced in 46000 miles and rears in 3300. I checked the front and I think I need to replace them.

Does anyone have the full list of parts I need to do the replacement? Do I need to do rotors at the same time? Wear sensor?

Parts I have listed so far:
Rear Rotors: 2 x 34216775287
Front Rotors: 2 x 34116884301

When I did mine these are the things I used,

1. Brake pads
2. Brake pad paste
3. Brake parts cleaner
4. Brake wear sensor

Wear sensor can be reused if the warning on idrive has not happened, advisable to replace.

I had to change my rotors because they warped very badly. If your braking is smooth and you are not experiencing vibrations or pulsation on the brake pedal, no need to replace. Minimum thickness is 26mm for 348x30mm size rotors. Seems you are allowed 4mm rotor thickness wear then they must be replaced

go onto bimmerfest in the F07 forum and look up my diy brake replacement. Your front mileage is a bit off, 46k more miles? In short, you'll need pads, sensors, clips, pad retract tool, anti-squeal grease. Just feel the lip on your rotor and you'll know if it needs replacing. If in doubt, just do it. It's a great opportunity to get some slotted/drilled if you're into that.
