BMW E84 X1 Front Brake Rotor & Pad Replacement DIY (2013-2015 BMW X1 xDrive35i, sDrive28i)

►Replacing the front brake pads and rotors on your BMW X1 is essential to ownership. They provide most of the vehicle's stopping power, and braking is significantly reduced when they're worn. You'll be able to feel and hear when they're worn, although your car will tell you before then. There's an electronic sensor that gets tripped once the pads wear to a certain level, and it'll trip a warning message on your instrument cluster. Failing to change them will result in metal-on-metal contact and steel shavings being thrown into your wheels and suspension.
In this video, Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, tackles a front brake pad and rotor replacement on an E84 BMW X1.

Love the clear information and the list of tools needed ON SCREEN so I can gather the right tools before I start! 😂…

[@kentstephens4151]

Got the DIY bug.. This video was brilliant THANK YOU

[@clarju96]

Have to say thank you so much for this video, Thanks to your very detailed video I have successfully managed to replace both rear disks and pads on my x1, even managed to replace the calliper on the drivers side. The Disks were a real pain to dislodge. but thanks to perseverance I managed to work them off. Thank you 👍 😀

[@kevinclifford5482]

Excellent video - very straightforward

[@mike9483]

You made that look so simple!! Appreciate it!

[@tunathedj]

Nicely made video and so much details explained!! You're an awesome expert!!

[@jdeday]

Great video! A DIY on the A/C belt replacement for the N20 E84 would be great!

[@FixItWithJon]

Excellent video, thank you for sharing.

[@Henry-cb4ii]

Thank you very much....hello from München

[@hbounden]

Correct me if I am wrong but I think you can change the disc without removing the calliper carrier. It’s a tight fit but if you feed the disc into the carrier first the inside of the disc will clear the hub….I think….Great vid!!! Thanks! More e84 content please? 😊

[@mrlolamason]

Great video, so well done.

[@fcpeuro]

Thank you very much!

[@thatbionicman]

any chance the headlights can be cleaned and if not can you post a video on how to replace the headlight assembly ?

[@Citydogcoco]

Is this the same exact procedure for the xdrive 28i?

[@user-gm9rc4nu1q]

Is it the same process for the rear

[@Teke0611]

Good video, but the description looks like it's wrong. This video is on the 4cyl car brakes.

[@ericandresen680]

Awesome video, thank you.
I just bought some new rotors for my BMW and i will change them tomorrow, due to wobble when breaking.
I will see if the old rotors where not straight or if there might be something else.
Where should is start look if the wobble don't go away after changing the rotors or if it come back soon after?

[@thomasstorrs6345]

Check the hub with a runout gauge

[@j.nuno10]

is it normal for the rotor to be rusted on the inside top part of it?

[@lsbzcuz]

is it almost same as 2016 bmw x1? beside parta

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Awesome thanks.
Is the liqui moly ceramic paste safe for the rubber on the guide pins?? 👍🏻👋🏻

[@fcpeuro]

Yes, it is!

[@user-gg7ub6nl6s]

Thank boss❤

[@fcpeuro]

Welcome 😎

[@jimjohnson9813]

Just finished this job on the exact car, however it dips or slides to to the left under braking. Any suggestions to what could be the cause?

[@fcpeuro]

Hi Jim, oftentimes that can be related to: A sticky caliper/collapsing brake line, worn control arm bushings/tierods/ball joints. An inspection of your suspension components may be a good start. We have a DIY for E9x vehicles (same front end as this e84) where a control arm bushing was so worn the whole wheel was shifting under braking, along with puling to a side.

[@jimjohnson9813]

Thanks for the reply, great video by the way.

[@3dlava202]

oil brake flushing on e84 please

[@grngocolombiano]

Second this!

[@SharpAndCunning]

This is actually not applicable to the 35i version of the X1. The calipers are different.

[@ProcTech]

So do they just look different or is removing them completely different?

[@user-gm9rc4nu1q]

Is it the same process for the rear

[@cocknoseuk]

I also want to know this
