Brake Pad Wear Sensor, Bowa - E36 non-M, Z3 non-M

Brake Wear Sensors are key safety components that allow worry-free driving without the need for constant visual inspection of your brake pad material. Once the brake lining dash light is illuminated on your dash, this is a warning of thin brake pad material. Pads should be replaced as soon as possible, and the sensor is a required replacement once the brake lining dash has come on.
