BMW phased out the use of asbestos in its brake components in the late 1980s, with most models transitioning to asbestos-free materials by the early 1990s. This change was part of a broader industry movement to eliminate asbestos due to health concerns associated with its use. As a result, BMW's commitment to safety and environmental standards led to the adoption of alternative materials for brake systems.

How do I replace BMW brakes?

You didn't even post which BMW you are working on. It is hard to know your level of mechanical competence, but from the way you asked the question the best thing is to take the car to a mechanic and pay them to do it. If you insist on doing it yourself, buy the correct Bentley manual for your BMW. You can see the list of books here: http://www.bentleypublishers.com/bmw Buy it from Amazon or your local bookstore. BMW brakes are much like the disc brakes on any modern car. The biggest difference is the parking brakes are inside the rear disks.
