Installation Notes
When installing, it's crucial to remember that if you're upgrading your rear pads, the same upgrade should be fitted to the front. The Thermic Black coating on the pads does not require removal before installation and serves as an anti-corrosion layer for long-lasting protection against rust. Just a heads up: trying to remove this coating with brake cleaner or other methods will void your warranty, so it's best to let the brake pads do their job during the first few stops.

The EBC Wear Sensor will alert you through your vehicle's computer system when it's time for a replacement, ensuring your safety on the road.
2. Is this sensor compatible with other BMW models?
This specific sensor is designed for the BMW M3 from 2001 to 2006. For other models, please check compatibility before purchasing.
3. Can I install this sensor myself?
If you're comfortable with basic automotive repairs, you can install the sensor yourself. However, for best results, consider having it installed by a professional.
4. What happens if I use it with upgraded brake pads?
It's important to use the same upgrade on both front and rear pads. Mixing different types can lead to uneven wear and affect braking performance.

No warranty is offered for brake vibration suffered due to uneven rotor thickness wear after incorrect installation of brake rotors. It is commonly known in the brake rotor business that accurate mounting and checking of runout on brake rotors is paramount at installation and in spite of necessary warnings many mechanics still see fit to ignore this warning and make no effort whatsoever to check rotor runout. This leads to brake vibration in the 3-5,000 miles lifetime period and is not a warrantable condition. The solution for vibration at this stage is to have the rotors turned or replaced and to thoroughly clean the mounting flange on the vehicle and carefully check for runout before returning the vehicle to service use.
