Need brakes/rotors
I'm at the 30k mile mark and my brakes are starting to seriously wear out... Does anybody have any suggestions for brakes and rotors for my 528xi!

What is your indication for the brakes being worn out? Noise? Appearance? Indication from the control screen/maintenance message? Just curious as to why you think they're getting worn out.

The original owner of my car apparently lived in NYC, the servicing dealer was in the Bronx near Shea Stadium and LaGuardia Airport. I don't have the Carfax anymore, but my recollection is they did a complete brake replacement at around 30K miles. It happens.
As for the OP, could be a good brake bleed may be all that is needed. Really not hard at all with two people, a jack, and about $10 worth of materials. While you are in there, you can visually check the pad thickness, although if they are truly whupped you should be getting the brake wear indicator light on your dash.

Hi arko528
They should last longer than 30k I have had my rear pads done at 32k and still on my original fronts at 38k Could it be something else Try the home remedy for $10 as suggested by the fellow forum member Worth a shot for sure

Also the computer diagnostics should tell you how many miles til your front/rear brakes need to be serviced
