Can anyone post a instructions that detail how to install new brake sensors for a 2005 X3. Have replaced the brakes, now need to install the new sensors and want to make sure it's done properly. A picture of properly installed sensors would be great too. Thanks

Well... you should have installed the new sensor when you installed the new pads. Now you'll have to take them back out to put in the sensor. It literally just snaps into the left front inner pad and the right rear inner pad. The flat side of the plastic piece faces down on the backing plate, so that the face with the little hump will touch the rotor when the pads wear down.

Sorry, don't have pics...

Actually... maybe I do

Tha'ts from an E36, but your's looks the same.

Thanks

my front brake sensor just tripped as well, i need to order new front pads and a new sensor kit. How long do you think it should take to do this job? I am pretty good with these types of things but never worked on a BMW
