This video shows you how to install front brake pads and rotors on your 2004-2010 BMW X3. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.

This repair was done on a 2007 BMW X3 3.0si 3.0L Sport Utility 4-Door AWD and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2004 BMW X3
2005 BMW X3
