Hi, I plan on purchasing a BBK from Rotora for my 2006 530i very soon. I had a few questions before I purchased:

When I need to replace my brake pads, which brand do I buy and for what car? Do I still purchase pads for made for my 530i?
Does their system still use the pad wear sensor like the OEM BMW brakes?
If I go with the 16" kit, what is the smallest rim size I can run, is it 19"?


Thank you!

Danny

Most likely no, the pads will need be those specific for the new calipers.

Does their system still use the pad wear sensor like the OEM BMW brakes?
I'm thinking no......but best to ask them.

If I go with the 16" kit, what is the smallest rim size I can run, is it 19"?
Again, best to ask them.
