Heys gus just wondering if my 5 series has brake pad sensors? The reason I ask is because my previous E90 had pad sensors, tyre pressure sensors etc.

Ive noticed a very slight judder under braking which I believe is a slightly warped disk?

Anyway im pleased to see that after checking prices online of OEM Jurid discs/pads and OE quality Pagid item they are very similar and reasonably priced :rolleyes:

    Thanks Jack, do you know if sensors come with pads or where I can get them?

    I take it the autos tend to warp discs more easily because when people brake upto a junction they tend to leave it in drive whilst stationary with their foot on the brake and the pads contact with the disc does not allow the heat to dissipate evenly?
