I bought my 28i X3 in January 2011. It is now a couple months over a year of ownership and I have 21,800 miles on the vehicle. It has performed incredibly and I continue to be very happy with it.

At about 18,000 I did get the warning to bring it in for replacement of the rear brake pads and I did so. It was covered under warranty so it was not a major issue. I did talk with the service manager about it and he stated it is customary to replace the rear brakes around 18,000 in mileage. He did not elaborate as to why.

As a side note, I have not been following the oil change recommendations on iDrive. I have been having the oil replaced at every 8,000 or 9,000 miles instead of the 15,000 to 18,000 shown on my X3.
