Love your instructional videos! Since BMW will no longer allow us to view the TIS, can you list the torque values if you have them?? Thx

Awesome video! I noticed you reset the brake fluid. I think this for a "flush" if I'm not mistaken, not just making sure the level is high enough. I don't know if you did that in another video but other video viewers should be aware of this.

If you sell the car, it's quite important that you make the things right! He should not have reseted it, only shown how to do it! I'm not sure, but I think BMW suggest to replace all bolts. I would never replace a cable that isn't damaged/torn down. Here in Sweden we switch tires two times a year and then you have a good opportunity to check the pads at the same time. Then we have to exchange the rear rotors because of rust often not because they are worn out. In practice few accidents, if any, are related to technical problems, so the DIYers must do a quite good job, or?

Just wanted to say thanks! Dealer wanted over $900 for front breaks and rotors and over $800 for rear. I bought good quality ceramic pads and rotors and sensors and was able to do it myself thanks to your video for around $300 in parts. It took me just over 3 hours.

Why did you not clean the matting surface before putting the rotor on? Also definitely love depends clean and lube. Depends with ate grease.

caliper bracket bolts are one time use as they are torqued to yield. New ones via the dealer are about 8 bucks each.

Hey thanks for making this video. a couple questions from when I was working on a 2018 X3 and ran into a couple issues. When retracting the parking brake, I got it all the way to the end stop, but the piston wouldnt retract in when using a c-clamp. I thought it might have been due to the parking brake not fully retracted so i tried rotating it fully counterclockwise, then clockwise again. When that happened, the torx bit on the caliper side was able to spin more and now doesnt hit an end stop. The piston also came out of the dust boot and I was leaking brake fluid ( I messed up somehow, trying to figure out exactly where or how). I ordered a new dust boot and plan to rebuild and bleed the system. My questions are, is the park brake destroyed to where I need to buy a new one or can i somehow tighten the nut on the threaded portion behind the piston to repair it? How can I get the piston to fully retract afterwards so I can get the pads in? Should I open up the bleeder valve to release some pressure in the system? This is the first BMW i've worked on. Other cars i've replaced pads and rotors for didnt have this kind of system.
