brake reset ??

sps · 10-06-2018, 10:22 AM

the car is 2010 model f10 530d.
I replaced the front brake pads and sensor about 3mths ago.
I successfully reset the front brake pad wear indicator using the trip meter reset button on the dash and it was showing 50000miles before needing to be changed again on I-drive

it has been 3months but it is still showing 50000 miles left on the front brakes even thought I have done 2000miles since the pads were changed.
is that normal?

The computer estimation is not accurate at all. But once the brake sensor is triggered. The warning message comes on and it is time for change.
