BMW X5, X6, X7 Rear Brake Pads DIY w/Service Light Reset

[@MartyLaVie]

Thank you for sharing this for the community. I service all my cars. Never owned a BMW but planning to buy an X7 in the near future and you are giving me more confidence that I can maintain it myself. Thank you!

Your video is the best one out there. Very informative and clear. Thanks for sharing. I decided to purchase d70 lite because of it. Question for you. Do we need to open brake fluid reservoir cap when pushing in pistons? 8:52

Great video - thanks! Just curious how you got into Activate Repair Shop mode from the main menu of the scan tool you use? I have the same. Thank you again!

Great video, just what I needed ! I think I have the exact same car as yours ;-) Did you ever do a fuel filter swap on the X7? At 65k kilometers I would like to do mine but not sure if it can be done on the driveway. Thank you for the videos sofar, they have been a lifesaver !

I see you programmed your 40i dash to read as a Alpina...👌

Your videos are great man I love them, have you ever done a differential or a transfer case fluid change?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

Thanks, man! I have done both on my 335xi, I will be looking into X7 transfer case issues/maintenance soon-ish and if I decide to do anything, I'll post a video.

Its good practice to grease the guide pins or you risk the caliper seizing.

Do I need to disable workshop mode first and then hit the brake pedal or hit the pedal few times first and then disable the worshop mode? thank you

Can you make a video about changed Front brake pad for BMW X7 🙏

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I will! As soon as the brakes need to be replaced :)

[@billydaodao2271]

Thanks 🙏

How do you put vehicle in maintenance mode without device so can compress caliper

[@SimpleCarGuy]

You can't. You'll need something to wind it back or you will risk breaking the caliper.

[@trencher7]

There are videos on winding back the electronic brake manually. You have to open it up on the backside of the caliper and wind it clockwise with a torx. I assume that mean no scanners are necessary to do the brakes.
