Hello everyone, my brake light went on for the rear brakes and I’d like to change the pads and sensor myself. While I’m at it, I figure I would change the front pads and sensor as well.
Does anyone know of any good YouTube videos for changing pads/sensor on a F56? I see a lot of videos for the older generations but nothing great for the F56.
Also, for those that have done this, is there anything particular I should know/look out for?
Thank you in advance!

The pictures look like the R56 but the guide says 2014-2020.

I'll be doing mine in a few weeks.

 

Another question...
Has anyone used the generic sensors on ECS Tuning as compared to using Genuine MINI sensors?
If so, are you happy with them? Any problems clearing the Brake light with them?

 

Here's one for the JCW's, good time to upgrade, hehe....

Ok, adding what feels like a stupid question... I am planning to replace my OEM pads with some nice aftermarket ones. The brake sensors haven't tripped yet. Do I need to replace them? Might as well? And does it matter one ounce between the cheaper ones and OEM- I see a variety for prices at ECS between $10 and $30.
