Hello,
I've got a request to change brakes in a friends car. 1999 BMW 740 IL (4 wheel disc). Here is what i know so far from research and reading up on other posts:
- No special tools are needed for the replacement and its similar to any other import car
- The car has about 90,000 miles on it, so i am going to replace the rotors, and i belive i have to change the wear sensor that works with the rotor.
- the OEM brake rotors are made up of softer metal, hence i will be going for another brand name, probably Bendix or so.
I'm not new to working on cars, just finished replacing an engine in a Mazda, but i have never worked on a European car. Please, i would really appreciate anyone on their opinions/thoughts on this project.
Thanks in advance,
