I'm stumped why BMW doesn't use the proven method of audible wear indicators on the pads, like all other freaking cars in the market . They try too hard to be different... and many times with non-desirable results. Not having an 'off' HVAC button is another example. Or a freaking dipstick. You get my point . Hey, I thought that just putting the sensor aside (taped up somewhere) didn't trigger any faults, no? They're supposed to trigger a fault when the sensor is grounded after being grinded down by the rotor. How the hell does it 'know' it's attached to the clip? Thx.
