Disc & pad longevity
As per title, how many miles are you getting out of brake discs/pads?
While I appreciate it very much depends on driving style, I'm just wondering as mine seem to be lasting a very long time. I bought the M in Feb 2010 with 15.5k miles on it and was told that it was mainly used as a commute-to-the-station car, so I assume that it had the original discs/pads. I've now put 20k miles on it in 14 months and the iDrive is still predicting 10k & 13k miles left for front and rear (although it was showing about the same as this in October). Or am I just driving it wrong? ![]()

do not rely on the i-drive ...you need to check the disc and pad with yr eyes as to their condition , on my old car (E60 M50) the i-drive shows 5000 miles to replacing the pads , but when i went for MOT test the disc and pads were well past their limits !!
from yr mileage , I said yr due a change soon ! But check is to see .......just take a fr and rear wheel of one side to inspect. Last edited by hugehead; 03-21-2011 at 08:04 PM. |
