3 Series (F31) BMW xDrive - iDrive Brake pad warning

[shabbaranks]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has had this happen to them, where you get a service warning on your iDrive that your pads needs changing in say 900 miles. The following day it tells you they need changing in say 700 miles when there's no way you have done 200 miles in a day and then within a week the red warning comes up to say the service is over due. This has happened to me this week, I've had a look at the pads (on the outside) and there's still a bit on them - I haven't taken the wheel off to look on the inside but my gut tells me its the same....

Has anyone else experienced this?
Cheers

....maybe your just 200miles heavy on the brakes? lol. Ease up and go a little slower

Plenty of cars now have calendar warnings and come on near its year end needing a service even if the car is off the road for 11months.

Too many things on bmws to show how much time is left on things.
