Ordered what I THOUGH were the correct rotors for my G05 2019 (no M brakes, no third row). What I received were 36mm thick and it appears that I need the 30mm? ECS said it would fit, not I need to get these rotors replaced...

BUT... I only realized this after I pulled the old pads, and tried to put them on over the rotor... Didn't fit so I backed out and put it all back to the way it was.

That's when the car freaked out. Got it to start it, first time doing this on my G05, but I just pumped the brakes and all the alarm bells sounded. 'chassis stabilization warning' 'brake malfunction warning' 'parking brake malfunction'

I surmise that I missed a step when I started the car back up. I suppose that since I pushed the pistons for the caliper back to fit the new pads that they must have triggered something when they moved back so easily?

Nothing else has changed on the car, no new parts... just some process issue. Thoughts on how I can get back to the original error of 'brake pads low'?

2 warnings for the 2024 X5 front brake pad replacement. Probably the same for yours.

1. If the front brake pads and the rear brake pads are exchanged together, the parking brake button must be operated 1x and released again after completion of the first exchange (e.g. front brake pads).
If not observed, a fault memory entry will take place.


2. After a brake pad exchange and before pressing the brake pedal: Always apply the electromechanical parking brake.
If this is not observed, a CC message appears and the brake system switches to the emergency program. The brake booster is no longer active.

well, that sounds about right. There was an odd 'sensation' when I pressed the pedal. My previous car (e90) and all my other BMWs were hand brake only. Never had to deal with an automatic parking brake.


Any ideas on how to reset emergency mode?
