Hi-

I replaced the brake pads on my 2002 Z3 as well as the front and rear
sensors at 41,000 miles last week. Only the front sensor had actually worn
far enough to trip the brake lining warning light. I had expected the light
to turn off after the new sensors were installed, but it is still on. Is
this a case where a code reset tool is required or do I have another issue
with the brake pads that is not resolved?

If it the code reset any suggestions regarding a reset tool that I should
buy? Will one tool work for other makes of cars with OBD2 or are there
multiple protocols?

Thanks for your help!!!

Read the "2001 330CI BRAKE INDICATOR" thread.

Just had the same problem...this fixed it...turn the key to second
position for 2 minutes. The indicator will reset.
