It's been a long time...

Mrs. Beard's 2011 BMW X5 needed new brake pads. I decided to take on the job myself. I think the last set of pads I changed was on her 2000 X5...

#1. Who the hell uses a REVERSE torx bolt? E18 tool required to remove calipers.
#2. Why do we need pad sensors in the damn cars?
#3. Who makes these sensors? Every one of them I've removed disintegrates.

Done.
