I was looking on Real OEM for the part number for the sensor and saw next to it was a brake paste, part # 81229407103. Does anybody use this on their brakes, and if so, where do you apply it? Thanks.

The "brake paste" is an anti-squeal lubricant that is applied to the back of the brake pads, contact points between the pads and caliper, and also along the caliper guide pins. It prevents squealing from the brakes and lets the calipers slide easily along the guide pins. You can get the BMW branded version in small packets- one packet per axle is enough, or you can buy some Permatex brake lube at the local Autozone, PEP Boys, etc.
