Hi, I haven't had the time to do anything about this. It's now saying 1400 miles till rear brakes need service. The round trip to Europe I'm planning will be approximately 1600 miles.
On another thread somewhere, I read someone's explanation that the iDrive indicator is an approximation, and that real indication that pads need changing imminently is when the embedded sensor withing the pads body itself gets in contact with the disc. Is this correct? When this embedded sensor touches the disc, do I get a different type of warning, on the dash perhaps? And then, the brakes are still functional, but ideally need changing very soon? I'm just trying to decide if I absolutely must change these before my trip, or am I ok to do it on my return.
Obviously, just seeking advice and opinion, I know it's my decision ultimately.
Many thanks.
