I wouldn't worry too much, the i-Drive tells me that my rear pad is wearing out faster then my front. Too much hard acceleration with DSC on I guess

20,000KM and iDrive reading is at 4200 front, 4000 rear. This have actually gone up from 3800 and 3700. I fear that the iDrive is not reading correctly and will cause damage to the brake disc.

When my car was at the dealership, I requested to have the rear brakes checked. Although the Idrive showed they have 7,000 mi. left, they were replaced (after 41k mi.). So I guess the sensors are sometimes incorrect.
