Do I need to replace all 4 rotors and brake sensors when I replace the pads?
I am planing to do it before I get the brake light on.
Please advice.
Than you

You either need to resurface them or replace them; do not put fresh pads onto glazed rotors.
Make sure that you grease all of the guide pins and utilize a quality pad like Textar or BMW- avoid Duralast and Mintex like the plague, unless you like whistling brakes. You need to replace the sensors, period; DO NOT USE THE OLD ONES, unless you want to do the job over in a few thousand miles. They may not be broken from your pad wear yet, but they get dry and age over time. They're cheap- just buy them.
Here's a good DIY- if you're not an expert brake guy, I would recommend you get help- The E60 job is not for beginners.
