Product Information

Brake pad wear sensors are used to monitor the thickness of your vehicle's brake pad friction lining. When the minimum safe thickness is reached the pad wear sensor comes into contact with the brake rotor and opens the circuit which in turn triggers a warning on your instrument cluster notifying you that it is time to service your brakes. Whether or not the pad wear sensor has been triggered it is highly recommended to replace the pad wear sensor when replacing brake pads. They tend to become fragile with age and can easily break when removed from old brake pads causing false warnings after completing the service,

WARNING: Proposition 65 information
Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor

Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensors, or Brake Pad Sensor, as they're commonly called, are used as an instrument to alert the driver when the brake pads of the vehicle are at a low level and are in need of replacement. Operation of the sensor is simple where it is wired to the brake control module with 12v and when the brake pad becomes low enough, the sensor will ultimately surface and make contact with the rotor which in turn grounds the sensor and completes the circuit which triggers the light in your instrument cluster. The Brake Pad Wear Sensor is recommended to be replaced at the time of brake pad replacement.

About Bowa

BOWA engineers its brake wear sensors in Germany, which are then 100% manufactured in their modern factory in Poland. This means that every brake wear sensor offered by BOWA is produced by BOWA – nothing is re-boxed from other suppliers. Unlike the competition, who claim they are "the" OE Manufacturer, BOWA is the predominant supplier of brake wear sensors to the German car makers. BMW trusts BOWA almost exclusively for production and aftersales, shouldn't you?

Good aftermarket option
No issues, fit perfectly as expected. I did notice that these wear sensors (Including my BMW OE item) are quite large, and they will make contact when you still have a good bit of pad material left. You obviously SHOULD NOT wait until you reach the metal base of the pad. If you get the warning, you don't need to freak out, you have plenty of time to change the pads.
