How to Change the front brakes on a F20 F21 BMW 1-series. Discs and Pads 

Great discription and you are the first to actually replace the bolts 👍🏽. That's the right way to do it. Most people just reuse the old ones which is wrong.

Amazing amount of content in this vidio ,so well made with attention to detail. You must put so much time into these vidio's , thankyou for taking the time to share your knowledge 👍 have a great day ,pleasure to watch

Great video and so clearly detailed. Thank you so much for sharing. A+++ 😃

Another fantastic video, lots of clear shots, descriptive and well explained, perfect for the 1 Series enthusiast.

Need to buy pads and sensor tomorrow. Hopefully the 18 plate 120d is the same as this cause I’m giving it a bash.👍

Thanks for a great video. Just a heads-up - NEWTIS has now been BLOCKED by BMW and you have to go to BMWTIS and pay thru the nose. Or got o Ebay and take your chances with the PDF downloads for F20 etc.

Thanks for all videos, its really helpful,

Good & well detailed video bro👍

How many mm are the front disk? 284mm?

Anyone who needs to be told to not take the wheel nuts off with the car on the ground really, really should not be changing brake discs and pads.

Excellent content and guide. Thank you.

Whilst Ive changed pads and discs many times. It's always nice to watch a how-to video just prior to commencing, just to familiarise yourself. Well done

Wow, thanks for going through the effort of making this diy video :)

Would you say this is a hard job for a beginner?

Hi and thx for your videos! very helpful, F.Y.I the site in the description is closed due the BMW gradience to use their official $$$ cost web site

Can the discs be removed without removing the carrier? Pretty sure on other cars there's just enough room between the disc face and the carrier to angle it out?

Haynes/BMW and yourself tell me 110nm

Loosen the disc removing bolts while the brakes are in place. That way if they are tight someone can put their foot on the brake pedal if tight. Reuse the caliper carrier bolts if necessary but only after after putting locktite locking compound on.

Hi, should I always change discs when I need new break pads?

Been inspired by The Rubbish Mechanic channel, sir?

Excellent video! I've got this to do on my f21 soon, got new backing plates to fit as well, they were picked up as an advisory on its mot last month

Hi everyone, I have the next question Does f22 m235i 2015 blue calipers and discs rotors fit on f21 120i 2017? Actually I have base caliper of 1 pot

Thank you very much for the video ! Unfortunately the link to the paste diagram is not working anymore... Could you upload the diagram again please ?

Heyyy.. another great vid Matt!! Well done m8!

Awesome video. Thanks a lot :)

What size are the bolts that hold the carrier in place please

Nice vid ,mate. Please wear gloves next time, otherwise it is super hard to clean your hands 😅

Hi Matt, just out of interest do you know if the front central jacking point is the same on a 2014 f30 3 series sport?

Hi great video, but was wondering if you could help me out? I just took my F21 for a MOT at the BMW dealership and they found four missing nipple bleed dust caps on the ends of the metal screws on the brakes calipers. In turn they said that both of my brake wear sensors have come loose and snapped as they rubbed against the wheels. They told me I need to get the plastic dust caps because the brake wear sensors are supposed to clip onto this dust cap. But when I see your video that doesn't seem to be the case? Mines a F21 116i 2013 model. Thank you

Great video as always. Just one question :how do you know it's time to change the disks? I've heard once every two break pads. Thanks BTW , newtis closed since 10/10/20 following the demand of BMW.

Can anyone get newtis to work anymore?

Can the old bolts be reused?

What size is the disks, front also rear?

Thank you very much Mattsbeamer 👏👏👏👍👍

Wow very nice video:) thanks ^^
