Dar L, Did you replace the wear sensor(s)? If Your indicator light indeed came on, than one of your sensors is now an open circuit, and will need to be replaced (they are destructive, not reusable). I do not recall that this requires a reset, once corrected. I also assume since yu stated you only replaced pads, that the rotors were greater than minimum thickness. They should be on a 25K car, but is very driver/envioronment dependent. Just replaced the pads on my 740 after getting a "check brake linings" light. Brakes work fine but I still have the brake warning light. The reset device sold by Peake states it will reset oil service and inspection lights. No mention of the brakes. Anyone use the $49.95 Peake R5? Also is the $149 Peake device that will read "check engine" codes worthwhile? Guess BMW doesn't want you working on your own car, but the dealer wanted more than $1300 for front and rear brakes, oil change, coolant flush, and brake fluid change. I don't know if that is a typical price, but I thought it was ridiculous. Car is a 98, has 25,000 miles, and was put in service in March of 1998.
