Brakepad Wear Sesnor

Hi
Just recently got this BMW after many years after having an old Mk2 Escort that slowly fell apart over 20 years. So still getting to know it. My issue is after leaving the car into the garage to replace the front discs and pads, on driving back noticed the brakepad wear light on the dashboard was on. So I just thought I'd replace the sensors however there aren't any sensors that I can see or indeed anywhere to plug a sensor in. I know I can just ignore but want to fix it.

Anything I'm missing / any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks Sean

If you have rear drums you only have a wear sensor at the left front wheel, connector is at the strut

I seem to remember the light can also come on with low fluid level, the sensor in the reservoir.
