Soft pedal after rotor and pad change

What was the issue as I am about to do brakes

one of the reasons this is a public forum is so that there is a historical record of what transpired: problem, solutions, fix.... going back to edit your first post does a disservice to others.

IMO

Its like they just disappeared into thin air! Anyway, on the way back home I got the low brake lining message on the idrive screen so I changed both pads and rotors but now the pedal is feeling a bit soft. I tried bleeding the brakes as well as properly seating the new pads but its still a bit soft. Any ideas?

Nevermind, I found the problem... as well as the missing bags of marshmellows. They had somehow lodged themselves right on top of my brake pedal and I didn't realize until after I posted up. Sorry to bother, problem solved!

I think it went something like that.

^^ Good to know, will be prepared when traveling with marshmallows.
