It is a BMW USA marketing program to cover maintenance. Your brake pads are not covered by your warranty if they wear out, they are covered by your maintenance program. In Canada we don't get full maintenance as you do, we just get scheduled maintenance (ie oil and filter changes, brakes are not a scheduled item). In the rest of the world, it is up to the local BMW distributor but included maintenance is not a common feature.
