Sure, just drive around with the brakes on, medium hard, for a few thoudand miles- when the pads wear down to the sensors, bring it in.

But WHY would you pay $1000 for brakes??

BMW rotors are 145 each, a set of pads about 150. So for $500 (including shipping) and an hour's time it is easily done. Even paying a decent indy 2 hours it isnt 1000.
