Product Information

It's time for a brake service if your BMW's steering wheel shakes while braking or the light is illuminated on your dash indicating your bake pads are too thin. There are numerous critical parts of your BMW's brake system. The two main wear items are the brake pads and the brake rotors. By their very nature they are intended to wear out.

Brake rotors can wear out in several ways. The most common reason for replacing brake rotors is because they are "warped". Warped brake rotors is another way of saying that there are uneven deposits on the rotor surface from the brake pads. This can cause the steering wheel to shimmy while braking. Rotors can be machined to remove the deposits but this is usually counterproductive and it's often safer and easier to just replace the rotors. One brake rotors reach their minimum specified thickness they must be replaced.

Brake pads are the friction material that allow for braking to begin with. They are softer than the brake rotor surface and tend to wear quicker. The brake pad wear sensor attached to the brake rotor will be tripped when the pad becomes too thin and illuminate a light on your dash letting you know that a brake service is required.

Included in this kit is a new brake pad wear sensor, brake lube, and bottle of hand soap.

Disc Brake Kit

When looking to service the brake system of your vehicle, a brake kit is the best option of choice. Brake kits take the guesswork out of which components are needed for the repair as they include everything needed to perform the job.

Question Posted by Nicholas
What is the difference between this kit and the 34116756090KTFR kit?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
These kits currently contain the same items - we will be consolidating to one of these kits only shortly. Either kit can be purchased as of now with no worry of warranty/return issues if it is the one consolidated.
Question Posted by a customer
It says only 2 brake pad sensors are included. My car has 4 sensors, one for each set of pads. Does this include all 4 sensors? If only 2 is it the front or rear sensors?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
There is only one pad wear sensor per axle included in this brake kit. We have never seen a setup on an E34 540i in which there is one pad wear sensor on each corner of the car. Most BMW's utilize one pad wear sensor per axle (one on the front left, one on the rear right). Looking at ETK data, a qty of 1 of each pad wear sensor is specified per axle by BMW. This kit is built off of the ETK data published by BMW. Perhaps the additional wiring you're seeing in the other wheels wells is the wiring leads for the wheel speed sensors?
