Changing brake Pads on 740iL

[Al Gray]

Yeah, yeah I know this is an E34 web site and I have one. But I also purchased a really cherry 2001 740iL in March. Seems that the Check Brake Linings sensor just lit up. I have changed my E34 pads and rotors many times and replaced the brake sensors. Is the 740iL set-up the same or is there some new twist that I should know about? Also, a brief visual inspection of the rotors seems to indicate they are okay. I am looking to get away with just replacing the pads. Any comments, suggestions or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. By the way, thanks for your help with the oil change, Winfred. I was a piece of cake.

Everything's the same. I usually get at least two sets of pads per rotors. Just bed them in for a longer time before you really get on them.
