Question on Brake Warranty
 

I just got my front brake pads and rotors changed under warranty at 18.5k miles. The dealer said the rear pads were fine and I agree they do look fine. Is this pretty normal for them to only change one set at a time?

I think the rear has another 5000 miles to go, but I just hate to keep bringing the car in, just such waste of time.

While it's a PITA, that's not unusual

pretty normal... just for clarificaton, brakes are wear and tear items covered under the free maintenance and not warranty.

DANG new pads at 18,500 mi... WHAT... U must be lockin it down... LOL

I have almost 300000 miles and haven't gotten mine replaced yet...

LOL! riiiiight :rofl: :rolleyes:

Driving up and down the hills in San Francisco is tough. You are constantly riding on the brakes. On my 740il, I have to replace brakes every 12k miles. It gets very expensive!

Normal...the front brakes do about 60% to 70% of the work...one way to make them last longer is to interval brake when slowing from higher speeds; cool brakes last loner...and around town use Shiftronic to take off some of the load.

Not only is it bad on your brakes, but I get HORRIBLE gas mileage here in the city... Stoopid hills!!

Yep - the hills in SF will surely do that!
