Is anyone in the Arlington,VA area willing and able to help a new DIY-er replace brakes and rotors (and sensors) on her 2002 540i? I hear it is dead simple to do if someone shows you the first time. Any help would be appreciated...

Ok, rephrase - is anyone in reasonable driving distance of Arlington, VA and willing/able to show me how to replace my brakes? Promise I'm not a dummy...
Just did mine last weekend-If you have a DIY book it will not take you long. I was surprised how straight forward it is. have a 5mm and 7mm hex socket, and also a 16mm and 17mm socket. Don't be afraid to hit those old rotors off with a sledge hammer.
You will be fine.

If not you are welcome to stop by the garage here in DC and I'll show you/help you. I have now done it a few times on my own E39.
