True, in the US they pay for those wear items, but that isn't warranty, it is the maintenance plan. The dealer will not install non-original parts, probably because it violates their dealer agreement with BMW. If you wear out the non-OEM pads, get a brake job from your dealer with OEM pads, and they will install new rotors. Then just swap the pads out. Given how much longer the non-OEM pads last, however, you may never wear them out during the scheduled maintenance period.
