Apologies but I am just marking this thread as the warranty on my 2008 will be up before long. I know a good independent shop but will also give a close look at the extended warranty.

Did you request the rear pads/rotors to be done or were they up for service according to idrive? Mine say about 5k miles left on the rears (has been saying that for months) and my coverage is up in January. Was wondering if they would do them for me if close enough.

No my brakes were Not due for service.I just knew my back rotors were never changed in the past so I just asked to check them.The service rep said they were close enough so he threw them on for me.Regarding the front brakes I just said check them for noise even though had complete done 10k ago.They gave me the pads and sensors. My oil change wasn't due for another 1600 miles but they still did it...I didn't even ask for Micro fillterand got a new one installed ..Heck I may take it in 1 more time and have them check the whole vehicle before mid November.

can you tell me what mileage your idrive said that they considered the rears to be "close enough"?

Mine is at 4200 left.

Mine said more than 4200 miles left before repair.. I just complained that there was some brake noise sometimes when i pulled up to a drive thru. I only had 10k on the front pads..I cant recall right now on rear.I have all the paper works at home.. Just complain about noise and vibration..

I'm curious--what were your mileages on all of your brake work, rotors, etc ? I have 25K and it's showing 4K until fronts are due and 10K until rears (my front/rear pads were replaced at 15K miles).

Well I have the Extended Maintenance Plan--I'm just trying to get an idea on wear (although everyone drives differently). You have 48K miles on your '08--whereas my '08 I only have 26K miles--so wear and tear is a little different between ours. I will make sure they replace the rotors with the pads when it goes in here next 4K miles for front brakes (I bet I can get them to change them before 4K miles).
