I knew this was going to happen anyway, it happens on all german cars the brakes cost money when they wear.

My 3Litre Diesel 6 Speed has 58000km. Checked the brake pads last week, when I had new tyres fitted, and they are about half worn with virtually no wear lip on the discs. How the devil can you wear out a set of pads and discs at 28000? If it is an automatic, do you drive using two feet? Sounds like you should get a second opinion before parting with your hard earnt cash. I would.
