Bmw M135i Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kit in US

A brake pad wear sensor kit for the Bmw M135i does one critical thing that a pad change alone cannot: it ensures the brake warning light on your M135i dashboard accurately reflects the condition of the next set of brake pads. Without a new sensor on the Bmw M135i, the warning system is non-functional from day one of the new pads, there is no advance notice for the next replacement cycle on your M135i. On Bmw M135i vehicles where a previous service skipped the sensor, the brake warning light may also remain on permanently after new pads are installed on the M135i.

What Is Included in the Bmw M135i Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kit

The kit for your Bmw M135i includes the brake pad wear sensor probe unit manufactured to OEM contact resistance and threshold depth for the M135i monitoring circuit, the wiring connector mating with the Bmw M135i brake monitoring harness where required, the retaining clip or mounting bracket securing the sensor to the M135i brake pad or caliper correctly, and in pad-inclusive kits, the brake pads for the Bmw M135i with sensor pre-assembled at factory-correct position on the M135i pad.

Why the Sensor Probe Specification Matters on the Bmw M135i

A brake pad wear sensor on the Bmw M135i is a calibrated component manufactured to trigger the M135i brake warning circuit at a specific remaining pad thickness. Too long and it triggers early on your Bmw M135i, sending drivers for an unnecessary brake service with significant M135i pad life remaining. Too short and it triggers late or not at all on the M135i, leaving the driver with no advance warning as the Bmw M135i pads approach the metal backing plate.

Signs the Wear Sensor Kit on Your Bmw M135i Is Due

• Brake pad warning light illuminated on your Bmw M135i dashboard
• M135i warning light that stays on after a recent pad change, indicating sensor was not replaced on the Bmw M135i
• Brake pads on your Bmw M135i at or approaching minimum thickness on inspection
• Worn sensor probe visible on the M135i brake pad during a brake service inspection

Why GeoBrakes for the Bmw M135i Wear Sensor Kit

Wear sensor compatibility for the Bmw M135i is more exacting than most brake components. Probe length, contact resistance specification, and connector pinout must all match the M135i brake monitoring circuit exactly. A wrong-spec sensor on your Bmw M135i either triggers warnings at the wrong pad thickness or fails to connect to the existing M135i harness. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is sourced to OEM specification for the Bmw M135i exact year and model, with front and rear positions listed separately.

Frequently Asked Questions - Bmw M135i Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kits

How do I know if my Bmw M135i has electronic brake pad wear sensors?

Check your Bmw M135i owner's manual for a brake pad warning light in the instrument cluster section. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm whether your Bmw M135i application requires an electronic sensor kit.

Can I buy the wear sensor separately from the brake pads for my Bmw M135i?

Yes. GeoBrakes carries sensors as standalone components and as part of sensor kits for the Bmw M135i. If replacing M135i pads that did not include a sensor and the existing sensor has already triggered, a standalone sensor or sensor kit is the correct purchase for your Bmw M135i.

Will the brake warning light turn off automatically after installing a new sensor on my Bmw M135i?

On most Bmw M135i vehicles, the brake pad warning light turns off once the new sensor is correctly installed and the ignition is cycled. On some Bmw M135i European platforms, a diagnostic scan tool reset may be required. Check your M135i service documentation if the light does not clear after installation.
