BMW X1 Forum - View Single Post - How often do you have to change your rotors and brakes? How many miles or km?

I've just had to have the front and rear pads changed on my 2016 X1, at 31,200 miles, for the first time. I do mainly around town driving (~75%) with the rest being A-roads etc. None of it is "spirited" driving

I was a bit concerned that the discs/rotors might need replacing as well, as I could feel a bit of a lip, but the dealer said that they were fine for another set of pads, which is a relief.

The dealer charged £260 for the parts (front and rear pads, sensors, grease, cleaning fluid etc.), and £250 labour!? Annoyingly I am giving the car back in about 3 months so this wasn't the best time for the brake warnings to start...

The pads were down to about 3mm apparently, which was enough to trigger the warnings. New they are around 12mm thick.
