Track Pad and Brake Pad sensor
I posted a message on the brake suspension board, but then got to thinking so I thought I would ask the track guys. My previous track car, E36 M3 I used brake pad sensors with my PFC 06s. Well for my 135i, I just got the Carbotech XP 10s. Well the brake pad sensors don't fit, at first I thought I got the wrong pads then I did some googling and a lot of track pads don't use sensors. So my question, is it ok to run a pad without the brake pad sensors? If get a warning light I can live with that on the track, but I don't want the car to limit peformance because somehow it thinks I have a brake problem.

Just looking at how the brake pad sensors work, as long as they remain plugged in/put together, whether or not they are attached to the pads is irrelevant, and should continue to "work" (it's a passive system) fine.
Please put up a review of the XP10's once you get a feel for them! They are on my short list for track day pads.

I duct taped mine and wrapped them around its own cord in the Z4M.
I monitor my pads so often anyways I don't need a stupid light to tell me that I need to replace. |
