This is better than most instructional videos. Good videography with pertinent notes and without all the "blah blah blah". Haven't done brakes on my 330i yet, but this looks to be about the same as most other cars.

[@NewRoad]

Thanks, you are right - same like other cars, nothing complicated

[@jarold74]

This is the best tutorial i've ever watched.

[@NewRoad]

Thank you. I'm glad it was helpful.

[@jarold74]

Great video

[@NewRoad]

Thanks!

[@namimylove157]

Made it look easy

[@NewRoad]

It's not hard, just make sure you have proper tools

[@adnanafzal6606]

I changed my discs and pads but instead only took the caliper off of rather than the whole bracket, it was two 8mm hex bolts. To install the discs i had to manoeuvre it into place around the bracket

[@SKETE_B]

What's the diameter of your discs pal are they 312mm front and 300mm rear

[@adnanafzal6606]

@@SKETE_B I think so, stock discs

[@dawxparker3970]

Hi do you need to bleed the brakes after? Btw great video👍👍

[@NewRoad]

No, you don't have to.

[@chrismorris5548]

I’ve heard you’re supposed to change the brake wear sensors when you change the pads and discs. Is this true?

[@NewRoad]

You don't have to change it unless you were driving until it started wearing off.

[@redi6]

@@NewRoad how do you know when this is? For example my sensors are indicating about 4000kms for my brakes. My rotors are pretty scored so I'm gonna replace them within the next couple months.

[@NewRoad]

@@redi6 It depends on your driving style, sensor will indicate when it is time to replace. But if rotors are bad - you better replace it to avoid premature break pads wear

[@irfo1987]

Hey what is the biggest size rotors i can get on my 320i ? Is it 312

[@NewRoad]

To be honest I am not sure.

[@OmarOttoman]

Hi, Would the f30 M3 brake pads and rotors work as an upgrade on any f30? Or more hardware/software are needed? Thanks

[@1Mean_F30]

Did u get any Noise or it rides like butter ??

[@NewRoad]

Everything works perfect

[@Sealft]

I tried to release the caliper piston pressure on my 2020 and it was to hard to do

[@NewRoad]

Sometime it is hard. Did you get your job done?

[@Sealft]

@@NewRoad not yet

[@Brazyjbeatz]

I had to open the valve and bleed it so it could finally open but I messed somewhere and now I can’t pump the breaks up there still soft

[@Regularboy-nj7gg]

anubody can tell me what size of rotors bmw 320i xdrive 2014 require plz thanks

[@NewRoad]

If you go to rockauto.com and search for your car - it'll give you option and product number

[@Regularboy-nj7gg]

@@NewRoad i have a question can i use 310mm rotors instead of 312mm would that make any difference if you have any thoughts on it thanks

[@bobmeiroff7302]

Those brake pads didn't look bad at all.

[@danielgallegos5494]

What is wheel torq spec?

[@NewRoad]

Mine is 2015 328i, I do 105 ft-lbs.

[@namimylove157]

Do you need to bleed the brakes?

[@NewRoad]

No need, unless you replacing caliper or it is time to flush your brake fluid

[@_Forever555]

[@NewRoad]

I would suggest to go to rockauto.com or fcpeuro.com sites and enter your vehicle information and it will give you options for your vehicles
