Very well presented, thank you
Great Video! Very thorough & you even explain possible issues. Been a long time since I have replaced brakes on a car & now I have a BMW! I was nervous about it, but you have made it look easy lol! Thank you
You are most welcome! Thank you for watching and I am glad it’s helpful 🙌🏽 if you need any help feel free to reach out 😃
Awesome job! Extremely helpful steps
Thank you! I am happy the video was helpful!!
Thanks so much, brilliant video step by step.
You are more than welcome!
Great video, I just replaced the rotors and pads on my 2013 550i, I wish I would have seen this video first…the tip about using the screwdriver to push the caliper piston in before removing the caliper would have saved me some time, I couldn’t get the caliper off due to the deep grove, finally decided to push the back brake pad back and gave enough room so the caliper would come off…also, putting the caliper pins in before reassembling the unit would have been smarter for me too…very thorough…next time I will watch before for a refresher…other vids I watched did not include this level of detail…
Thank you for watching! Glad you were able to get yours done!!and yes removing the pins and pushing the piston back before removing the caliper can save a lot of time!!
Doesn’t the 550 have performance dual calipers like the m cars? This is just a 528
@@gottgaame mine is a 2013 550i and the calipers were a setup just like this video…perhaps a bit larger, but not dual calipers…
Awesome 👏 I’m getting ready to replace the same in my 2015 535
Excellent video! Ive been fighting the anti rattle clip for a full day now. Replaced hubs, rotors, pads quicker than this clip.
Thank you and I am glad the video was helpful 😄 thank you for watching!!
Great video, hoping to tackle this soon.
Glad the video was helpful! Thank you for watching!
MUCHAS GRACIAS CAMPEÓN 💪 THANKS.
Thank you!!
You are most welcome!!
What snout bleeding the system, is it not required?
Great video, What brakes did you use? I have a 2012 535 and I want to change the brakes and rotors.
Thank you!!! The links are in the description!
My friend great video I have the exact car, do I have to replace the rotors also or can I do just break pads thx
Thank you 🙌🏽 You don’t have to replace the rotors unless they have grooves all over em or rusted on the surface that the brake pads touches!
Friend question? The same thing applies for the rear breaks and rotors and sensor?
What about the parking 🅿️ break which it’s in the rear.
Thank you
The concept is the same but the calipers are electronics because of the electronic parking brakes so you would need to put the calipers in service mode before you press them back and you will need an OBD2 scanner for that I know Autel / snap on or launch would be able to put the EPB in service mode it should a be under “functions” or “hot functions”
dont forget to remove that resevoir cap on all brake jobs!
looks clean
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic demo! Thank you. By the way, did that 535i have friction discs? The dealer told me I need new friction discs for my front brakes on my 2014 535i due to clicking in the front end. I'm wondering how hard they are to install since the service tech casually handed me a 1,300.00 USD quote.
This particular one didn’t need friction disks, friction disks aren’t very hard to begin with they sit between the wheels and the rotors and oh wow!!! 1300 for just brakes 🥲 people have gone crazy accepting such numbers making it sound normal
Hi great video mate,maybe do you know,i have now 348x30mm rotors i need to replace them,but i checked on realeom site with my car vin numer it’s saying 348x36 rotors,so i confused what rotors to buy???
Thank you! I would call your local bmw dealer (parts department) and ask for the rotors and when they tell you the price just ask em for the parts numbers and go off of those
Perfect. Thank you
Thank you for watching and hope it was helpful!
would it be the same setup for 530i xdrive 2018?
Yes it should be Altho part numbers could be different!
No service modes to be messed with in the front ? And why can I not just push the caliper piston in with a C-clamp ?
The service mode applies only to the rear brake job because they are electronic Calipers, you could use a C LAMP on the front and on the rear as well except for the rear you have to put the calipers on service modes first
@@brownsburg.motorsports okay awesome thanks for the answer !
Can you give a link of where you got the brake bads and the rotors
?
?
Idk ab a link but if you still need them and know anyone who has a certified garage business I’m sure they can order them for you. Also make sure you get new hardware
Sure! Apologize for some reason I didn’t get notified about your comment! I will surely get em and add em in the description momentarily!
Links are added in the description now!
What grease did you use
CRC brake and caliper grease
@@brownsburg.motorsports oh so the anti seize I got is not the right grease is it
what is the disc size? 348? or 330 ?
This one specifically was 330mm
Hi, very well explained and simple to understand! Was just wondering, if I were to upgrade the calipers and rotors from a 520d to a 530d, would a brake pump upgrade be needed, also?
Thanks in advance!
Thank you!! I am glad you like the video! And I am not certain about the brake pump upgrade I would advise to check the bmw catalogue for the part number of the pump on your vehicle then see if that same part number is used on the cars using the calipers you want to upgrade to
@@brownsburg.motorsports Thanks for the reply, I'll check it soon
