I just replaced the brake pads on my 2006 530, I used the EBC Redstuff they work great, the problem is that I cant reset the Brake pad message I do the usual procedure it turnes to o and then goes back to to overdue.
In the dealer they say it is because the original bmw pads have a especial sensor which I do not believe others tell me I may have to replace the 2 brake sensor lines.
Any suggestions

If you just changed the pads, then there is a rear brake sensor that also should be replaced that will get rid of the error message. There are 2 sensors on your car 1 for the fronts and 1 for the rears and they need to be replaced any time you replace a set of pads. You should be able to find the sensor online for about $15-20 if you cant find it at your local auto parts store.
