Quality video mate. It's great to see correct procedures, for example, using an axle stand, correct torque settings, and cleaning up the caliper before re-fitting the pads.
Thanks for the video - one note - You used the E16 star socket but my 2016 435i ZHP with Brembo msport used a standard 18mm socket sadly i went and bought a set of of the E Star sockets before I knew . Odd that they are different ( I’ll probably return) Again thanks for the video- helped me get through my pads and two piece rotor install -
Great video bro. Switching from Infiniti Q50 to M4 and I’m used to doing the maintenance on my Q and this is straight forward. Similar to the process on the Q
When u clean caliper I’d make sure to use wire brush right where the pads slide. I even used a cotton swab with break clean on it to make sure it was smooth and clean
Nice video. Viewers should be aware that standard brake cleaner is highly toxic and you should wear impermeable gloves when using it. Also, avoid breathing the fumes. I have a background in toxicology, and the chlorinated hydrocarbons in this stuff will kill your liver (i.e., liver necrosis increasing your risk of liver cancer).
Good point! Any advice on any PPE to use? I have a 99.97% rated particulate respirator, but I am not sure about using this with regard to chemicals. Better than nothing, I guess?

So if you want to support it the correct way you would need adapters for the plastic part that you’re talking about but I’ve supported it on the area right in front of that jacking point. You could also use part of the front subframe or the back subframe to support it as well.

I need to look at my brakes on my F31 335d as I have a slight brake judder.....I measured the front disc run out and only had 0.02mm on both discs.....so must check the rear as 0.02mm is not much!!
Nice thanks, my son has the M sport in need of front disks and pads but when I look online it says there is a few variables but his callipers look exactly like yours. Could you provide a link to the Brakes and disks just for reference? Thank you so much.
Yes, here are the links to the pads and rotors that I used, links can also be found in the video description. There are different versions of the rotors and pads depending on the package the car has, the rotors on mine measured 370mm across. If he has the m sport caliper painted blue like mine, then these should work.

Great vid - I'm thinking of doing this on my F32 MSport. A few of questions. 1. Please can you clarify the socket size, there were two sizes mentioned here. Also please repeat the torque measurement. 2. What lubricant did you use for the pad - Does it need a specific product ? 3. A general question for all viewers - Which rotors do you recommend (UK market) ? There has to be a good middle option between the dearest and cheapest. Thanks in advance.
Ive got a 335d MSport xdrive with the blue calipers. Im getting lots of brake squeal at very low speeds. Any suggestions what is causing this and how to fix it?
If the pads have a a good amount of pad material on them, it's likely due to dust that can collect on the surface the pads slide on and may just need to be cleaned out.
No I haven’t noticed any difference from before but you wouldn’t notice any vibration from going to a 1 piece rotor. They are a little more heavier so there could be a minute difference in stopping but i honestly haven’t noticed any at all
They probably didn't grease the caliper sliding pins we also grease the back of the pads where the piston makes contact or they could've put the hardware where the pad slides on incorrectly causing it to rub against the rotor . If there is drag when your driving your caliper might be frozen
So you possibly have the same brakes I need for my 2018 430i coupe M sport package. Which exact brake pads and rotors did you purchase from RockAuto? I don’t know anything as far as what thpe brake system I have.
Question I hope you can help me lol I have my bmw 428i convertible 2016 and I wanna install the m performance calipers that I had already but I wanna know if I need to change the rotors ?
speedy juarez Yeah he’ll need new rotors if you currently have the stock single piston brakes. I’m not sure what size the stock ones are but for the M sport mine were 330 mm. Hope that helps!
The wear sensor is only on one side I don’t remember which side but you can’t miss it, it’ll be attached to one of the brake pads. And it can’t be reused You’ll need to get a new one.
@@rattuautoworks7547 thanks for that I thought it could be reused what is the reason it can’t be is it attached to the brake pad? The car says it has 1000 miles left and the pads have a fair bit of meat left on them still
@@mgmmotorz5004 Oh okay ,yeah I was thinking you’re changing the pad because the warning on your dash cam on. In this case if the sensor hasn’t came in contact with the brake rotor you should be OK but if it has then you’ll need to change it and that usually means the brake light will turn on on the instrument cluster as well. If it was me I would probably change it but obviously you don’t need to if the sensor hasn’t worn down.

BMW has 3 different brakes on this car. 1st was the basic one where the front and the back brakes are the single piston type, 2nd is the M sport package + M sport breaks package these have four piston brakes upfront and two piston brakes in the back (this is what I have on this car), 3rd is just the M sport package this includes four piston brakes upfront and single piston brakes in the back and they are not painted blue (I think this is the one that you have so they’re not fake, you likely just just have the M sport package without the M sport brake package).
Bro what’s a good website to buy pads and rotors? I need my brake done soon. I have a bmw 428i my shop is charging me $1500 for everything labor and parts

Two sets of pads per one set of discs (rotors) as a rule of thumb. We don’t refurb discs here in uk.
In the U.K. we never “resurface” brake discs (rotors) we always just replace them if they’re pitted or scorn.
So easy to do, is my first 435i and I thought it was hard to change rotors
Bmw says to get new bolts for those calipers if removed they’re one time use only

You can use brake cleaner if its powdercoated
You don't need to resurface. The old surface is will smoothed by old pads.
What a shame my F80 brakes were much better than the G82. BMW is an awkward company with the tendency to go backwards sometimes.
Way to destroy the paint on your calipers bruh.
