On my previous car a 3 series I need to change at 70000km. I only drive in the city with a lot of stop and go at traffic lights.

weird... theres a mix message... some need brake pads REALLY soon and some dont... My iDrive still says like 30K miles to go before i need new brakes... *shrugs* and even more for the rear... I'm wondering if i can even squeeze in a free pair of brakes under the maintence plan...

86.000 km's on clock, and still on factory brake pads, both front and back
Idrive says 25.000 km's left on the front pads!! We drive a lot long-distance with cruise control

I have done 14,000 km and the iDrive say 14000 to go for the front pad, but the funny thing is it also say 9000 to go for the rear. How can it be faster for the rear to wear out. So there must be an error.

My style of driving requires changing front pads in about 30000km.
The driving conditions ...usualy urban driving and some highway no drastic braking???
rear pads cca50.000 km
For me it is aceptable, because after 80.000 km the discs are untached (almoust) only pads changing... on other cars you can see the discs are already scractes, thiner after 50000km??
This is only one of the good reasons why i have a BMW
