This is the first good video of someone doing this service with the standard calipers. Everyone who has posted videos like this for the G30 has the M Sport calipers. Thank you!

@LowBoostFilms 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for watching! They’re very similar, just don’t need to have a specific rotor.

I'm in the market for a BMW now and just wanted to see how the maintenance for brakes, oil changes etc are for these cars. This is something I can definitely do my own when the time comes. Good work man thanks for the tutorial!

@ricklee993 8 месяцев назад

Excellent video and all bases covered. I had a real hard time getting my pads into the calipers. I used my air compressor to really blow out all the dust and, though it couldn't have made more than a few thousands of an inch difference in tolerance, that made them snap right in. Doing this job again tomorrow after about 30k more miles.

@LowBoostFilms 8 месяцев назад

Wow, that little bit made a big difference then. Good luck it’s not hard just gets messy with all the break dust. Hopefully my video was helpful!

Hello Sir, I also ordered the pads and the rotors from FC EURO, I am a bit confuse with the Pads (BMW Genuine) .it has 2 pads withe the sensor slots and to without the slots. Why would I need 2 pads with slots if my vehicle has one sensor. How would I install them? One with slot one without the slot On each side (R,L)? thank you in advanced

Do you feel the 540i will hold up well in the long haul? I'm sitting at 160k on my 2009 335d and looking at replacing it in the next 4-5 years. It runs great but interior is showing wear and would like more modern tech at some point. Thinking about buying a 3-5 year old low miles 540i with cash when the time is right. I like to buy something nice and drive it 15-20 years (I only put about 10k a year miles on a vehicle)

@LowBoostFilms 3 месяца назад

Yeah, I think if you take good care of a 540 it’ll last a long time

@antsantos9952 Месяц назад

lol I’m on the same boat I have a 09 335i with 155k & I think it time to upgrade I daily it 40 miles around trip 5 to 6 days a week car is fun to drive I do mostly every repair besides motor & trans but I’m looking at a 540

@BrianNC81 Месяц назад

@@antsantos9952 fun cars for sure, just having some modern tech would be nice and a loaded spec interior. Mine is poverty spec, fake leather seats with a rip in the drivers seat that is taped and no heated steering wheel. Still drives like a dream though. Did suspension work (lowered), tuned it, aftermarket wheels, 3" exhaust.

@ArunChhikara 7 месяцев назад

The guide clips or anti rattle clips gave me the nightmare and after a while I got rattled and threw them away. Are they an absolute must? They were proving to be more of an hinderence

@LowBoostFilms 7 месяцев назад

I think they’ll work without them but could wear out faster and or rattle

Can you tell me if the 540i brake calipers come with anti-rattle clips? Also, unfortunately I had Les Schwab do my front brakes and my rotors are all rusty after only 8k miles! What would cause this? THANK YOU

@LowBoostFilms 7 месяцев назад

Yes they have anti rattle clips. The rust doesn’t come off after you drive it?

Any recommended grease points on the caliper ?

Yeah, so I don’t think I was able to video that because I had it all over my fingers and it didn’t record on my camera, but those anti-rattle clips you can apply some grease to where the pad slides

@LowBoostFilms 6 месяцев назад

@@skwid98173482if it hasn’t been changed in a while spray some PB blaster on it and let it sit for a few minutes before trying to get it off. That’ll loosen the rust off. If it strips you’ll have to drill it and use an easy out
