15,000 miles ... front and back pads, sensors and rotors. They said my wife does not drive the car enough. You either live with the shaking when you brake or replace the brakes.

It was $570 for pads, rotors, sensors at Calgary BMW, just for the rear. Fronts are indicating another 35k to go.

Bmw 2014 x3
Hi,
I have a bmw2014 x3 with only 32,000 miles on it. The dashboard has been saying since aug i need rear brake pads replaced, but the bmw people said i should be ok til jan. I went to get a tire replaced at a different place and they told me my rear brakes need replacing very soon.. I dont drive rough where i brake a lot etc. Is it normal for the rear brakes to only last this long?? Coz if so then why are we paying sooooo mich for this vehicle? The car is only 4 years old and with VERY low miles. And I have already had to replace the front brakes, the tires, and now rear brakes are due. |

My rear pads were worn out (<1/8”) at 36K miles. I replaced the pads only, rotors were like new. I’m still on the original front pads at 62K.

I can't convince her to brake earlier/lighter lol. She drives my GC and comments how quick it stops. Well, it's about 600lbs lighter and does have better brakes lol. The idrive on her X3 still says 3100 mi until brakes due. It's said that since day 1 (2 yrs ago). POS system since hers are starting to squeak a bit.

Same car, yes. They are heavy. Apparently your wife missed that part in driving school//lessons where they teach you that one should actually be easing off the pedal when approaching final stop😉
