Detailed Description

Global Parts 1813548 is built for front brake wear monitoring on BMW i3 and BMW i3s models. The sensor uses a 2-wire, pin-terminal layout with an oval female connector and male terminals to match the original-style brake wear circuit. As brake pads thin, the sensor provides the signal needed to alert the driver that service is due. This part number 1813548 is a practical OE-style replacement for vehicles that rely on electronic pad wear detection.

For shoppers searching for a BMW i3 front brake pad wear sensor or a BMW i3s front disc brake pad wear sensor, this part number 1813548 matches the listed fitment and connector style. It is also listed as an interchange for 2BWS0408, 34 35 6 799 329, ES115020, and WS484.

What It Helps Address

  • Brake pad wear warning light or service reminder
  • Loss of brake pad wear monitoring after sensor damage
  • Incorrect wear signal from a failed front brake sensor
  • Need for a direct replacement during brake pad service
  • Connector mismatch on BMW front brake wear sensor replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment before installation. Inspect the connector, terminal layout, and harness routing to confirm the replacement matches the original sensor. Replace the sensor when brake pads are serviced if the existing sensor has been triggered, damaged, or worn through. Confirm the sensor seats properly in the pad and routes away from moving suspension and brake components.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts brake wear sensors are built as direct replacement components for listed BMW applications and are intended to restore proper brake wear detection when the original sensor is no longer functioning correctly.
