BMW and Brakes – it’s not just the brake pads
If you have a BMW produced after 1992, and your brake lining light appears, you’ll need a brake job that will consist of new brake pads and new brake rotors. I know, it sucks and it’s more expensive; but it’s not all bad. This is the brake warning for newer BMWs equipped with iDrive (I’m starting to like iDrive), and it’s starting to cause some confusion . . .
