All F20 should have those sensors but if you wish to narrow it down to your car you can check it by the VIN or the production month here: RealOEM.com: Select Your BMW Model.
The point is the sensor does not allow to measure pad thickness, it only allows to detect a critical thickness. To find out how much you have above that you have to check it by external means: my dealer's mechanics use callipers when performing maintenance inspection. The car's computer estimation is just a guess and it should only encourage you to have your pads checked, not necessarily replaced! |
Well...Today it was on 1800km, yesterday was 1200km.
So it changes mileage according to driving style ?
What do you mean when you say checking the pads? Why should they be checked and not replaced? I'm sorry for so many questions but I'm not even close to a rookie mechanic
