Sorry if I don't believe you. Are you the original owner? That's like 3x the life of any BMW brake pad.

My Ride: 2004 BMW E60 530i, upgrades: Magnaflow exhaust, Mtec angel eyes and low beam head lights, Just purchased 172 style wheels, looking around for the best tires on Tire Rack now. R1 concepts rotors drilled/slotted. Saving for the M-style kit from Trinity Auto.

2004 530i with 117,600, recently replaced the starter, starts up like its a new car. Other than replacing tires and oil when due, it runs great. Also, new spark plugs replaced at 100,000 at recommendation from the dealer.

Suit yourself, Achtung. I told you in the same post that I'm the original owner. If you can come up with any plausible reason that I'd make it up, I'll purposely not get upset at being called a liar.

By the way, I also have an E46 (bought new) that has 100k miles on the original brakes. They're about 75% or 80% worn. Clutches on both cars are original. If you don't believe any of this, that's your option. Just kindly keep it to yourself.
