Watching this once again! The best, friendliest mechanic ever! Thank you for all the knowledge sir!

Great video. Will be doing mine for the first time on the G30 shortly. I don't have the tool for pushing the piston in but in sure it can easily be done without it if you could wind it in with your fingers. Video is much appreciated 🙏

Thank you for your video. I got a 2019 BMW X5 and had a brake replacement at an auto shop. The warning was gone, but after one month the brake light shows up again. That auto shop could not reset the light. So I tried myself in the diagnostic mode, but the reset option does not show in that mode. Do you have any idea how to clear the brake light?

[@RachidRachid-vu3no]

Thank you very helpful.

[@solaadebisi8892]

Can you also use a screwdriver to push the pistons on the REAR caliper AFTER rolling back the electromechanical actuator? Or do you need a clamp or special tool

[@cabdriver361]

Good video helpful. I guess it's the same as other brakes and you can use the same sensor if not worn down to the sensor?

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

Thank you my friend! Very simple. No you can't reuse the same sensor unfortunately!

[@cabdriver361]

@@FullBoltOnGarage Never worn them out so far that the warning comes up so I've always used the same sensor on my E39's. That's enjoying having to replace them regardless of not touching the sensor. But great video thanks 👍😊

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

The things the E39 let us get away with LOL!! Still in my opinion best car ever built..thankfully for us there sensor is very cheap!

[@superchargedv8993]

Yeah you can re-use the sensor as long as it’s not worn previously. It only can’t be reused it’s touched/worn out. Change the pads early enough and reuse it

[@irabergman5058]

Nice video - thx! I'm about to do the pads and rotors on my '19 X5. Been reading some stuff saying that you should engage the parking brake when you're finished (before stepping on the brake pedal) to avoid an error/warning popping up on the dash. Any thoughts on that? Thanks again for the video.

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

Hey brotha!! I appreciate the kind words!! As for the stepping on brake I haven't heard of any such way. I've done many many and all with this process

[@irabergman5058]

Thanks again. Keep up the good work!

[@marlonsison]

Very helpful! It seems the G30 no longer has the jacking points in the rear and front and only on 4 sides of the car...How did you manage to drain the oil from underneath? Thanks!

Ugh, I just bought my car a few months ago and my brakes are starting to go. Unfortunately the warranty I have doesn’t cover them. Half the places I went to here in FL charge an arm and leg, but I’m thinking about doing them myself. Just need to get the proper tools. Nice video by the way!

[@petinyiri]

do my bmw 530e se g30 will tell when to replace the brake pads? like message on dashboard? thanks

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

Yes it will

[@sxr7an]

I want to do this job myself but I don’t have the app to push the piston back. Is it absolutely necessary for the app ? Can I just push the piston back with the special tool you have ?

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

Hey brother! The app is definitely required if not your rear emergency will lock in place unfortunately

[@Ally.MacMillan]

There are a couple of ways of doing it without the app or without ISTA, but not really recommended. You can remove the motors from the rear of the callipers and manually rewind the e brake with a torx bit, but you still have to push back the piston and you have to remember to wind the e brake back into position before attaching the motor again. Another way is to apply 12v power to the pins in the plug terminal which will rewind the e brakes, and again, do the opposite to reset them. Like I say, not really recommended especially if you aren't sure what you are doing. Best to get Bimmerlink or ISTA.

[@youtubehobbyists]

My 2021 530e G30 LCI has a different diagnostic manual. It's on the top rather than at the bottom. I need to do ' chassis dyno' and unlock code to reset the parking brake. The unlock code is the sum of last five digits of your VIN

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

Very good to know! This will help folks down the line forsure. Appreciate the feedback my friend ✅️

can you do a front brakes job as well, please???

How do you remove the rear rotors as well? Thinking about upgrading to the r1 concepts rotors but the video doesn't show how to remove those.

I've made a video entirely dedicated to the rear! Just look up G30 rear brake pad replacement.

[@65stanggt]

@@FullBoltOnGarage The video I am commenting on comes up when I search that. How do I remove the rotors?

[@differentvibes8200]

I bought Bimmer link for this specific reason on my lci g30 and I don’t see the option to put the parking brake in service mode . Any help?

[@Ally.MacMillan]

It depends on your OBDII adapter and if you paid for the full version of Bimmerlink.

[@terminator4974]

Where is the maintenance schedules? For g30 540i 2017 (in the owners manual) ;p

[@Ally.MacMillan]

The maintenance schedules aren't fixed, you will find them in the iDrive menu, which tells which service is due next and when.

No sir! Only 1 for the rear! Bmw figures if one side goes out the other will too so no need for 2 sensors!

What kind of OBD are u using thanks.?

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

Obdlinklx

[@heightskings6693]

Do I need the app to retract ? Or can I just unplug the sensor and compress piston ?

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

The app is highly recommend. If not the Auto H option has issues and wont engage after you compress. You will also have an idrive warning. It's best to use bimmerlink!

[@wassimnagoulat3690]

I purchased the port & the app. BimmerLink, however the app doesn’t have the icon for the brakes. Any idea why?

[@heightskings6693]

@@wassimnagoulat3690 no idea ... I was able to put the car in diagnostic mode from the button on the speedo gauge .. but my car is a 17’ 340i .. so it’s push start .. press the start button 3 times fast , it’ll go in diag mode , leave it like that , and then I just took apart the plastic wheel well , unplugged the clip , got the caliper off , and got the motor off the caliper , twisted the electric motor back in with a 1/4” flat head screwdriver , did my brake pads and put a new sensor , and once I was done I started the car , and boom , CEL was gone

[@Ally.MacMillan]

@@heightskings6693 F30 may be different from G30, and you maybe just push the start button once for diagnostic mode with those cars.

[@rp1268]

can't you just push the piston back? it didn't look like it was turning so looks like all that tool did was push it back.

[@FullBoltOnGarage]

In service mode.

[@Ally.MacMillan]

Yes, once the motor is wound back using the app or ISTA, you can then push the piston back using a variety of methods, this method is just one. The pad wind back tool he is using is for many different cars, some of which have to turn to wind back, this tool does both.
