Changing brake pads...any how to links?

I need to swap pads and flush the brake fluid on my 1M. Ive done this before on a Z3 Mcoupe and an E36M3. Is it the same or is there differences? Any tips or a how to link is appreciated.

BMW didn't make many changes to the way the calipers are mounted so the old tools you had will work just fine on the new E82 1M.

Nothing like spending an afternoon working on your BMW 1M with your son, times like that should be cherished!
