- A video of my recent brake job. In this video I replace the brake pads and brake wear sensor. I also replaced the router (disk) and the rubber bushings in the brake caliper.
As always, I'm just an average guy working on his car. Don't troll me with how much smarter you are, and don't think this video represents any kind of professional advice!
Really appreciate your uploads, mann. I want to thank you on the behalf of everybody you've benefitted and for the time you put into these.
I've watched several of your videos, the BMW community surely appreciates the time you've spent.
Really helpful since I just got a 328i myself 97 so obd2 like the one you have. In love with it and learning how to fix things with your videos is just gonna make it more fun!
Your video helped may neighbor has a BMW like this one. Just changed his rotors and brake pads but after installing them one side rattled. Thought is was the rubber boot cover the back mounting bolt but discovered the front spring is what holds the caliper tight to the caliper mount. Thanks and keep it up
Great video. Very detailed and at a good pace to understand. Off to replace my E36 rotors and pads. Thanks!!
Great video ! I would always push the piston back with bleeder open and a bleeder hose in the bleeder.
Otherwise you push contaminated fluid back through the abs box, its tiny solonoids and check valves can be quickly corroded to junk..That is a problem here on the gulf coast.
Super educative videos! Building a hoon 320i E36 with a friend, so this really helps! Thanks a lot!
Keep these videos coming, man.
Will do. I've got a long list of projects!
I'm assuming by this I don't need a windback tool specific to this car? If so you've made my life a lot easier 😂😂
Why do people always forget to remove the brake fluid reservoir cap before compressing the cyclinder?
good job , love it. I have 98 bmw 328i too
Nevermind great video!
my rears are worn and my abs light is on but not the pad light, can the brakes being bad make the abs light come on?
Yes
Excuse me , but i have a question . I am from Europe and me and a friend have been talking about 328is , and we are wondering does IS have any meaning about the engine itself , like more power like 1.8is? Because in the city where i live there is a guy with 2.8is that says the engine has 40nm more than the eu m52b28 . I've read in internet that IS means 2 doors but i don't think it is that.
what are the dimensions of the brake pads and hand packs .thanks in advance
Hmm instead of using the wrench nd the bit, u shud have just turned the wheel. But great video. Thank you very helpful.
lol yeah turn the wheel for the rear brakes....
Do u fun the stock wheel size with ur lowered suspension? And when can i see a pic of ur e36 how it looks lowered on ur bilstein shocks
What’s screaming in the background. Sounds like a goat
Nice video! Thank you. Just an advice... put some gloves on!
what camera are you using
318, 325 and 328 just the same brake pad size?
I find the 318 often has different parts. You should check before buying. I recommend looking up the part number on the site realOEM.
Thanks..some parts can be fit like rear absorber 328 can fit 318..as my friend said.
You forgot to bleed the brakes.
Bleeding the brakes is a good idea as part of the regular maintenance since moisture can get in the brake fluid. It's something I'll do after replacing the front pads. However, bleeding the brakes is not a necessary step when replacing the pads. It's only a necessary step when you disconnect the brake line which you do not need to do to replace the pads and rotors.

Well before I started changing the pads I opened brake reservoir and when I did job on the rear I went for a ride and car didn't stop as fast as it should. When I did the front well let me tell you like this if it wasn't for a hand brake I would crash into other car on the traffic light. Its not a good feeling when you push the brake all the way down and wheels are still spinning.
You're beyond insidious! Who doesn't check pedal feel, and bleed after a brake pad change?!
