My Ride: My Bimmer's info is in my sig, so I'll tell you about my garage toy. It's a 1997 Porsche Boxster. The car is black on black and I have replaced every single thing on the car (interior, exterior, drivetrain, suspension) except for the sheet metal and the convertible top (both of which will be next I guess). I love my Pcar more than any other car I have ever owned and will probably keep it for the rest of my life. Porsche. There is no substitute.
Default Lazy question about brake pad wear sensors

The kits I see for brake pads and discs have one front sensor and one back sensor included.

I pulled the driver's side wheels off today to inspect the brakes and noticed sensors but I'm too lazy tonight to pull off the passenger side wheels and see if that side has sensors as well.

My Porsche has sensors all the way around. Same with the BMW 550i or not?

No - BMW has but one brake sensor front and one rear. It was a cost-cutting move to keep the price of the cars low. (NOT!) :-)
