Brake pads
The warning lamp lights up. The brake
pads have worn down to the minimum

replaced as soon as possible.
For your own safety: only use brake pads
which BMW has approved for your spe-

approved brake pads to determine if they are
suitable for use, and therefore cannot guaran-
tee the operating safety of the vehicle in the
event of their use.
