Hi guys:
Is brake pads replacement included in the E60 free maintenance program? Idrive shows that mine are almost worn (2000 km left). I am in Canada.

It's only in US, buddy.

I'm sure your brake pad won't be replaced by dealer by 50K miles. Mine is 33K miles now and it still indicates 7K miles to go for the last two months. I drive more than 1000 miles/month and I still don't see that 7000 miles remaining indicator reduced.

In addition to the brake pads, my dealer told me that they replace the rotors too (also covered under the 50K warranty). I have 21K miles on my 5'er and its showing my back brakes have 4K miles to go and my front brakes have 6K miles to go before replacing....which I would have thought that front brakes would wear down faster than back brakes....

Brakes are not under new car warranty in Canada. BMW does offer a brake and wiper blade maintenance program for CAD $ 750.00 which cover you for I believe
80,000 kms or could be 60,000, have to check. If you want coverage for greater kilometers, the price jumps to like $2,000.00.

Brake maintenance package has to be purchased within the first year.
