Thanks for that Document.. that was helpful, But I am still debating if I am going to get the extented maintenace for $1800
My dealership offered me something similar for ~2000 (I passed on it). They also are offering to CPO my car for more money.

Excuse my lack of knowledge.
When do I need to replace my brake pads?
Please tell me how I am suppose to know when my brake pads are worn out and it is time for replacement.

Hi to all,
I've just changed my rear brake pads 2 weeks ago here in Portugal, official BMW dealer in Coimbra, and I've just paid 290?, about 340$, for the pads, new brake fluid, BMW-Sauber hat
, AC minifilters and labor! Mine is also from 2004 e61 530d!

?290 - that's cheap!!
I changed the rear brake pads and the front brake pads and roters myself. An very easy job..
I just changed the microfilters a couple of weeks ago - very easy as well
...and spend three days on cleaning the car:

I'm planning to make my own DIY for E60 545i specific but not until I need to change pads
Rotors = American for Disc Brake.
I have no idea how Americans came up w/ rotors instead of discs
