Thanks guys. My x5 is used in city traffic. This is New Delhi remember, where one needs to stop and go every 3 seconds. There are cows, elephants, scooters, insane rickshaw drivers and whatnot to look out for.

I can only dream of having the roads you guys have in america and europe...

They say if you can drive in India you can drive anywhere else.

I will take the car to the dealer and get it inspected. 450 dollars for just the rear brake pads. Remember this car cost me USD 180,000/- (after a 116% import duty) so i should have known maintenance would be pretty hefty!

Thanks once again. I will let you know what the dealer tells me.

Cheers!
