Brake Pad-warning light help!!!!!!

[Dave3166]

Hi Guys.

We have a 2013 328i BMW. Just MOT`d, all ok.

The brake pads warning light has come on, for the front pads. Overdue, get changed as soon as.

The garage that MOT`d the car said there is 3000 miles or so left on the pads. Why do these warnings come on so early. I think it must be a money spinning thing!!!!!

So, how do i get rid of the message if i can. Or, do i just put up with it until they get changed.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dave.

Change the pad wear sensor on the relevant axle and reset cbs or use diagnostic equipment to input a manual pad wear thickness into the system.
