Brake bleeding.

so i did a flush on my brakes this past weekend. I noticed that my driver side rear does not have the pad sensor but all other 3 wheels do... is this how it suppose to be i looked around if it got loose or somehow the dealer disconnected it but i just can find anything else. Can someone chime it if one suppose to be in there?

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you will only have two brake sensors, on in the rear and the other in the front on the opposite side. I may have this wrong but I think it is front left and rear right.

Unless it's different on the older cars, the sensors are on both fronts and one rear.

Strange.

My car which has the same brake system has sensors on right rear and left front only.

I think my '07 335i was set up the same but I'm old and can't remember that far back.

Sounds like a possible BBK install.

I know if anyone knew the correct answer to this it would be you. I was going off memory on my 2006 E90 330i which I could have sworn only had two. On the M3 I was not 100% certain as I did not install my BBK.

Well I think the OP has the correct answer that there are three sensors.
