Purchase one new brake pad sensor. Front, since you mentioned -15000 miles. Jack up both front wheels, remove left side wheel, turn steering wheel to full right. Locate sensor on brake pad, follow routing to connector. Remove sensor from pad, disconnect from connector. Install new sensor to pad (it should click firmly in place), route cable and connect to vehicle. There are only brake pad sensor each for front and rear axle.

I recommend BMW sensor since they seem to be of much better build quality and fitment than aftermarket sensors I have seen. Looking at the new sensor should give you an idea of how it clips on to the brake pad, and how sensor can be pulled off pad.
