I changed fluid and inspected the brakes yesterday. Front rotors and pads still look new with 45K miles on them. I had to replace the rears a few months ago.

It's crazy isn't it? Wonder if all the e-diff, e-parking brake, auto-Hold, and DSC end up chewing through rear brake pads more nowadays. The pre-owned 2011 X3 35i I acquired about 10 days ago, had rear pads down almost at the wear sensor, fronts were nice and chunky.
I still went ahead and changed to Hawk 5.0 pads at the four corners, since I wanted a brake compound with more bite than OEM, shorter stopping distance, and minimal pedal sink.
