Look on the X5 World home page for the DIY articles on brake pad replacement. The two articles by Hayaku and Mickey have pictures that show the sensors. Front left, and right rear only. You can get to the sensors easily after the wheels are off. Ensure that the connections are tight in the junction boxes where they connect to the vehicle.

If the sensors were worn through and the brake pad warning light came on, you need new sensors. If the warning light never came on but is on now, the shop may not have reconnected the sensors. Even in that case, it is a good idea to replace them as they go brittle over time.
