Highest mileage on front brakes

Suspect this isn’t a record but at 45,000 miles and still on original pads and discs. I don’t do much stop start driving, rear pads replaced at 38,000 miles.

Anyone managed over 50,000 on original front brakes?

I didn't get my rears changed until 50,000 miles. My fronts were changed at just under 65,000 miles however I still had not received the wear sensor notification.

I'll never know, I replaced my dust monsters at 1000 miles with Akebono ceramic brakes. Maybe lost a slight bit of braking performance (only a racetrack driver might notice), gained 95% cleaner wheels between washes.

Presumably the discs/rotors had to be changed up front too?

I’ve never had to replace front brakes before 50k on a BMW.

I am at 82.000km and getting the message to change rear pads within 5k km....

Just checked fronts and i think they are also due for replacement... planned to swap them for 374mm M-Performance brakes anyway.

Do you have and use the dynamic cruise control (Driver's Assistance Package) a lot?

I don’t have dynamic cruise control. I did buy the car used at 16k though. No idea what the previous owner was doing
