To replace the brake pad sensor on a 2004 BMW X5, first ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and secured. Remove the wheel to access the brake assembly, then disconnect the old brake pad sensor by unplugging it from the wiring harness. Install the new brake pad sensor by connecting it to the harness and securing it in place, then reassemble the brake components and wheel. Finally, reset the brake warning light if necessary by following the vehicle's specific procedures.
Carefully pry pad wear sensor from brake pad. Then insert brake pad wear sensor into cutout in new pad where applicable.
As far as I know, the older BMW uses brake sensor inline with the brakpads. Once the pads are low enough, the sensor get worn down, which use to conduct electricity no longer do so. As a result, the sensor lights are tripped. To reset the lights, you need to replace the brake sensors.
The brake pad wear sensor is on the brake pads. On my 318ti, the sensor is on the left side, on the inboard pad.

When changing the brake pads and discs on a BMW Z4, it is not always necessary to change the brake sensor. The brake wear sensor can often be reused if it is in good condition and not worn down. However, if the sensor shows signs of wear or damage, it is advisable to replace it to ensure accurate monitoring of brake pad wear. Always consult your vehicle’s manual or a professional mechanic for specific recommendations.
