Changed my rear brake pads at 125k km for the first time. Now at 210k km the idrive shows 100k km until they needs to be replaced. I'm doing 1000 km / week, so it's all highway at 130 km/h

I finally had to change my rears at ~104,000 miles. Strange I didn't have to change the fronts. Typically, front pads wear first.
