Yep. Many routine maintenace tasks on Bimmers are supreme pains in the
ass, but changing pads isn't one of them.

They're possibly the most straightforward cars on which to change pads,
and I speak from the experience of a hundred or so brake jobs.

I'd hardly say a sliding caliper set up is easier to change the pads on
than a fixed one - with fixed types all you have to do is lever the
pistons back. You don't have to remove the caliper.
