The driving stability and traction control elements of these vehicles means there's a lot of brake pad wear that's not initiated by the driver's foot on the pedal. I think I recall reading the brakes are lightly applied to the disc every few seconds in wet weather to maximise wet weather braking performance.

I just changed pads and discs on my 2016 F48 X1 at 72,000km (42,000m), installing ceramic pads. Enjoying low dust, much cleaner wheels and OEM brake performance
