It's based on miles and other factors, but not actual pad wear - right?

Those number is just an estimation.
The BMW tech may check your pad thickness everytime you bring the car in.
There is a sensor anyway where it will tell you when your pad is low, and from there, it is good about a couple thousand miles.

Thanks. I'm showing rear brakes in 2k miles, general vehicle check in 14k - I'll keep an eye on it.
