Huge drop service indicator brakes after tuning.

Has anyone ever had this?

Na tunen van je auto dat er een hele snelle daling volgt van de kilometers van remmen service.
After my car was tuned, the service indicator (for the rear and front brakes) was really dropping fast:

Service indicator:
09 oct. 1600 km (before BMW dealer maintenance)
16 oct.. 20.000 km (big maintenance, reset on brake/ service indicator)**
25 oct.. 20.000 km (day of car tuning, just before tuning)
04 nov. 16.000 km
13 nov. 2000 km

In this period i only drove short distances, in total 1000 km.
Nothing special, no racing or any other thing that could wear out brakes fast.

BMW F10 535i from 2010
Gearbox ECU ZF 8HP45 (automatic gearbox)
Tuning stage 1 (from 306 hp to 365 hp / from 400Nm to 520Nm).
The description of the tuning: "tuning-vmax off"

**Had brought the car in for replacing the brakes on 28th of aug. Because the service indicator had dropped to 1600 km.
BUT the dealer said after measuring the brake pads: there's nothing wrong, nothing to be done here. When they did the big maintenance on the 16th of oct. they reset the service indicator.

What could be the cause of going from 20.000 to 2000km is such a short period?

Thanks for your repsonse.
