Hey guys, BMW Service peeps said I have about 15% left on my front brakes. Do you know how much they will charge me to replace? I found OEM pads on amazon.com. How much will it cost to install front brake pads if I buy them off amazon.

get the axxiz deluxe pads from Nerwyll if you are out of warranty and never worry about brake dust again.

Just out of curiosity, do you really need to replace rotors every time you change brake pads as recommended by BMW maintenance?

NO
only if you still use your pads while it has nothing left, that will damage your rotor then you will need to replace

That's my understanding too. I just don't get why BMW always wants to replace both pads and rotors.
