Brilliant, Straight to the point, no needless chatting. Changed my brakes today no problems. Thank you.

I love it, for a basic brake down its indispensable. An ikea manual on steroids, I actually like the mechanic, very confident and patient (like my brother). The vantage points are always clear of obstructions and well lit!

I replaced the rotors on my E61 LCI without dismantling the caliper holder, saved a lot of time !

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! We hope that our tutorial was helpful for you. Stay tuned and follow our latest updates. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@BBGBITW]

Thankyou. Also, I greased (caliper grease) the caliper sliding pins. This should be a standard procedure.

[@qualityrenov]

Ok, good job. but no anti-seize to apply on the back of rotors before installing them, or the retainer screw? no silicon greasing sliding pins and where the pads are hung on the caliper?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, and it shows the sequence of repairs, so some stages of the repairs might have been excluded. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@lucase3047]

According to BMW tis no grease should be applied on these pins.

[@N5XBEVST]

What is the name of the special device you use to press the brake caliper piston with ?

[@autodocuk]

This is a special tool for pressing the caliper piston in. You can find it under the article number YT-0611 YATO. AUTODOC

[@eilrahcrn]

Thanks for the video. First time I'll be changing my 2007 e60 brake discs & pads. Do you think 292 mm diameter of disc is ok? The standard is 310 mm. Thanks again.

[@GrahamReid34]

forgot the copper slip on the edges of the pads, also you never checked the guide pins to make sure they have plenty of silicone grease.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! This video is purely informative therefor some stages of the repairs might have been excluded. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@eddieronayne3463]

Copper grease should never be used on pads. Non metallic, e.g. Ceratec, should be used

[@juandef4115]

@@eddieronayne3463 or wurth synthetic brake paste is even better

[@jsm3233]

@@autodocuk Sorry, but that's a bad answer. It's not presented as "purely informative", it's presented as a "How to" (it's right in the title and description) and people will follow it as such. And yes, before you say it, yes, there is a disclaimer.

[@bikevideo1]

Great video, well done, keep them coming. Don't they have sensors that you have to replace though?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! In this case there is no need to replace the sensors, since they are not faulty. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@davidrsmith2417]

In most USA models of BMW, E60 included, the front pads do have wear sensors. If the sensor itself is not worn (it has not caused a "Brake Pad" warning light), it can be reused on the new pads. If it (or they) are worn, they must be replaced with new pad-wear sensors. However, this video did not depict any brake pad wear sensors at all.

[@pelican7481]

David R Smith They have brake sensors on Front left and Rear right of the car. One sensor per axle.

[@soundseeker63]

Those disks looked almost brand new! lol wish all my nuts and bolts were as easy as they appear in this footage..

[@stephenfarrell1240]

Love these videos

[@CoyoteFPV]

Very handy, but where were the wear sensors ? I have heard now mine has triggered it will need replacing but I see none in your video. Also no copper slip will mean squeaky braking.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the feedback! This video is considered to be an informative one, so it shows the sequence of repairs, without going into all the technical nuances. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@eddieronayne3463]

Wear sensor is only on LHF on E60 EXCEPT S85 M5

[@halezy9681]

Just cut the wire for the sensors and solder them together. wear sensors = stupid idea

[@robertramos2589]

My brake spring retainer look different then these would I have to get different brake then the ones used on this e60 ??

Is it necessary to replace the break wear sensors when doing this job or can the original sensors be left in place?

[@justinyoungstown]

No need to use brake grease on pad contact points or bolts ?

Thank you for your feedback ! We appreciate your valuable remark. We will consider our mistakes and will try not to make them any more. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@notoco1199]

Caliper sliding bolts should be clean and put back with silicone grease. Brake grease should go between connectors of brake pads and brake bracket. Some sort of antisieze nice to put on clean whell hub before brake rotor is attached to prewent rust underneath and it's future removal problems same under the wheel before its screen on to studs.

is that hex bit 7mm?

[@autodocuk]

[@ridds777]

BMW requires a scan tool to interface with the vehicles module to reset the brake pad life so the cluster will not show an illuminated trouble light.

I was really hoping I'd be able to change the brakes on my BMW by myself however after watching this video I realized I didnt have all the tools necessary. After calculating the cost of tools & parts needed I thought it be better to save my time and leave it to the professionals. I ended up using my local BMW Service Center, Bay Diagnostic www.baydiagnostic.com/ and am happy with the quick turnaround and family service. Hope to use some of your other videos in the future!

You burn the car

[@Marvindorfler1]

Just had a first attempt at this after this video. My vlog wasn't as smooth, struggled to get the wheel off with an almost welded on nut, had to hammer the shit out of the calipers to get them off, one retaining clip broke and I managed to get a piece of rust in my eye where I then had to get a lift to A and E as my car was up on ramps with the brakes hanging off it. I'll stick to paying someone to do my brakes

[@autodocuk]

Thanks for your comment. In order not to repeat the same problems next time, you need to use copper grease. 306383 PRESTO is the article number.

haha your mechanic looks like he'd rather be at the pub. So isn't the last step to bleed the air from the system? I'm new to BMW so I'm learning their car. Love it, 2006 530IX

Are you gonna clean the caliper with brake cleaner and grease the contact point of the brake pads. You will expect loud grinding noise. This is the reason why I'm not taking my car to the Dealers

[@davidrsmith2417]

1) All modern BMW cars have unique BMW lift adapter housings (4) on the lower left & right frame edges. These hollow plastic housings interface with special steel or nylon or hard rubber adapters used by all professional BMW repair facilities. Lifting a BMW car without these inexpensive adapters can and will damage the factory adapter housing. 2) In the USA, front brake pads (at least) have brake pad wear sensors - you never show that. 3) Professional BMW shops use a torque-limited impact gun or actual torque wrenches to (final) tighten all brake assembly bolts and the wheel lugs. You do not show any attempt to use correct bolt torque. 4) The brake pad carrier plates should be cleaned with a wire brush and a very light coating of high-temperature brake grease should be used at the interface between these plates and the brake pad metal ears. 5) The brake caliper slide rods (removed with the #7 bit) should be cleaned and re-greased with high-temp brake grease. Otherwise great vid!
