Re: BRAKE LIGHT

["Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you replace the wear sensors?  I have an '85 318i, which has front discs 
and rear drums, and the left front caliper has a wear sensor installed in 
the inboard pad.  I'm not sure whether the rear brakes have a wear sensor on 
your car or not.

One question though...when you say "overhead sensor display's BRAKE light", 
are you talking about the "Check Control" display above the rearview mirror? 
  My 318i doesn't have this, so I can't speak from true experience.  But I 
have other (non-E30) BMWs with the Check Control computer, and any 
indication about brakes would be for a failed brake light.  A brake wear 
sensor or brake fluid sensor will light up on the instrument panel, along 
with the 'brake' light for the parking brake.
