Another pads and rotors thread

[CT_X5_Joe]

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Ive read the previous posts (about 50 of them) and I am going back and forth on replacing my rotors with my brake job.

Ive got 35,800 on my 2006 X5 4.4i. I drive hard, but nothing crazy. I just got the "check brake linings" message and looked at the front pads and they are low. Rotors look ok, with next to no lip. I haven't measured the thickness and compared to whats stamped on the rotors. I assume, because of the mileage, this is the first replacement of the pads.

My plan, for now, is to replace the pads only, with OEM (actual BMW parts) and try and get another 25-30k miles. Like to get to around 60k miles before doing rotors.

My question is: has anyone ever done this (pads only) and had issues?
