Hi all!

I'm new here, but have been reading "all" posts for a while.
But i can't find the answer to my question....
That is: when I-drive tells me to take my car to "bmw" to replace brake pads, har the sesors been triggered or is this msg
triggere by milage?
My pads (the one's i can see (outside)has atleast 7-10mm left)

I'm Norwegian...sorry for my english spelling

I wish mine would, down to about 3mm but i-drive says 5000 miles left. Without the agreement of the dumb computer BMW will not replace under service package.

At every start-up, your i-drive screen will pop up with the message to get pads replaced.
