I'm a newbie to cars. recently bought this bmw. great driving experience.

First,can you recommend tools that will help me be able to do future DIY? Secondly the computer shows I soon need to replace the front and rear brakes? Do I need to replace the whole thing being the front disc brake, brake pad and sensor and just the rear pad and sensor?
