Front wheel hub assembly

hi everyone,
Small back story of what i am experiencing. 2006 mini base I have the trifecta brake lights. I replaced all four abs wheel speed sensors and cleared all the codes with scan tool. lights came back on with the code for both the front wheel sensors. I decided it may be the wheel hub assembly so i purchased two new front ones to find out that there is a production change at 7/2006 before or from. My mini is 11/06 which uses a 2007 wheel hub assembly. So my question is should i use a 2007 wheel speed sensor? maybe the issue from the start. Thanks.

No, use your original sensor. The production change is the size of the lug bolts as the newer one is 14mm bolts, the older is 12mm lug bolts.

I hope this is relevant, sorry for possible thread jacking. But I feel like I have a similar issue. When I switched my pulley on my supercharger, I noticed my passenger wheel hub looked bent. I thought it strange but reattached my wheel and imagined I'd get to it a bit later. I rotated my wheels with the pulley change, and got a good drive out of it for a few days, but the trifecta of DSC, abs, and tpms lights all come on now when I turn off my DSC. Turning off my DSC has turned into the only way to drive my car currently, because with the DSC active, it kicks in at 3k rpm and will prevent me from driving any faster and I'm unsure as to why it does this. My brakes will also act finicky with the DSC active. I imagine it's a faulty sensor, but was wondering if the wheel hub would cause this problem as well. I didn't exist before I rotated tires. There's also an unknown whine coming from my car that I thought could be the wheel bearing, but it only exists when revving my engine because it disappears with clutch engagement. Sorry for making this message so long and jacking a thread. I just imagined this could fit a similar category without starting a new thread. :/

After I changed the wheel hub bearing assemblies all the tri-fecta lights went out and the brakes that were pulsating are back to normal. The front passenger side was shot, but changed both passenger and drivers side front.

Thanks for the reply. I've got some new front hubs, bearings, and abs sensors on the way. I believe when I did my pulley change I may have interacted with my sensor on the passenger side more than I expected. But I hope your brake shuddering is the same I get before I turn the DSC off. Haha. But hopefully that will fix my lights. Thanks for the help. :D
