The brake pads have sensors in them, when the pads get worn down to the sensor the light comes on letting you know its time to replace. this happens well before the pads are completely gone to reduce wear on the rotors. You should have the brakes replaced and the sensor also.

    Check the rotors to see if they are glazed or pitted or grooved (if you take it to a mechanic they will tell you) if they are any of those things then yes replace rotors too.

I have a 2002 BMW 745 Li and the cd changer got jammed after I put 6 new cd's in it. After that, I tried to unjam the cd with a credit card to get the cd out. This did not work, but immediately after that the i drive stopped functioning. The navigation stopped working etc. You can hit "accept" when you first start the car, but you can not go to any screens. The radio, in dash CD, nor any other function on the lcd screen works. Any suggestions on what to try will be appreciated. The air conditioner controls still work (the knobs) on the car and the car drives fine (windows and everything function) just the computer screen isn't working including the voice response

I disconnected the battery to reset everything and no luck. I took out the navigation disk and installed again and no luck. I played with the cd changer trying to get it out "unlock" and no luck

I have 2002 BMW x5. The battery light came on, then the brake light, ABS and warning lights all came on at the same time. Car started to stall once I got to 30 mph. Parked the car and restarted...all...

Replace the battery. (And possibly the Alternator). Reset any codes and try again. A week battery will cause al kinds of havoc and will result in just what you describe. BMW's are very sensitive to correct voltage.

My 745i has gas and batterty power but it will not start.

The 2002 BMW 745I has a recall when the gas goes under a third of gas it will shut off and not start cause it thinks it has no gas. You can call BMW and they will check if your car is on the recall list and you can get it fixed for free. Or they told me to just take it to the BMW dealership and tell them.

BMW 745I 2002 wiper dead

there are several things that can cause the wipers in your car not to work. if you have verified the fuses are good and verified power to your wiper motor, I would try disconnecting the negative battery cable for 15 minutes, then checking operation of the wipers. by the way, which fuses did you check?
