Why Can't We Reset the Brake Pads on a BMW Vehicle?

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Brake pads

Video tutorial

The wear of the brake pads on any car, not just BMW, is indicated on the instrument cluster by the appropriate warning light, which is naturally illuminated. That said, you must first replace the brake pads, and only after that will you focus on clearing the aforementioned warning light.

A message saying "Braking System" and a red exclamation mark will appear on the central display, indicating a brake anomaly, and at this point, we will use the button below the odometer to reset it; but if that does not happen, we will engage and disengage the handbrake to succeed in the task.
