I replaced the sensor wire and the warning persists. I have read every thread I could find and watched some YouTube videos and attempted to reset the warning to no avail.
One thing I did learn is that the reset for a manual is different than a reset for an automatic, and I have tried both. I also have iDrive, but could not find mention anywhere of if this makes any difference.
Has anyone been successful in resetting this warning on a 2011 135i manual?

I think you will need to visit a BMW dealer and have them reset the brake warning light(s). Or maybe you can find a "coder" in your area to reset them.
I also believe the BMwhat or Carely app might also work in resetting the warning light. You might need to use a jumper wire to short out the sensors - try resetting the warning lamp, then reconnect the old sensors and reset again. ? That's what a few people have reported before in this thread.
Did you read/see these two posts in this thread...
