I was in idrive and in dash the warnings for worse rear brake pads.

I change rear brake pads and also the brake pad indicator/wire.

I have drive ~300km after the change but all warnings are still on.

Anyone knows should the brake pad warnings go away byitself after change new pads and indicator/wire ?

My e61 is 2006 model (button start)

Yes, I find it in usermanual page 57 (ingition On).

Next was easy push this and that in time this and that etc..
Next brake pad change now 50000km.



Also i have warnings for suspension level control...
What this could be..?
Warnings has come couple times and goes off after drive few kilometers and stop and start engine again..

Has the car aircompressor failure or some indicator fail, anyone pro who has experience.

Same here, there's plenty written about the rear compressor. If you don't have the upgraded compressor set-up you'll probably need to get one.
