It's your call...is the small price for the sensor worth the hassle? Or perhaps it will work out fine.
Thank you. I took it to my mechanic who works on BMW's and has the computer software pertaining to BMW. Bought the car used and brake pads were not low. The front brake sensor on the computer showed it at 5%. Mechanic said although the brake pads were still basically good, he couldn't reset the vehicle computer once it went lower than 25%. I replaced the sensor and so far I'm good again. I will monitor my wear and tear on the pads. Thanks again!
