Some brake pads last only a few, less than 8 months with an aggressive driver. Some last more than 1 1/2 years. It really depends.
You may wish to call up some of the workshops listed to get a rough quote.
Sometimes it may be because your brake sensor wire has snapped, that cost only 15$ if im not wrong. It happened to me before
The usual BMW workshops everyone goes to, in no particular order, Juzz4cars, BVO & Riverview.
When you go there, they will check which pads need to be changed etc, and will advise you accordingly. Do remember to ask clearly, which need and DO NOT NEED to be changed. Don't be a carrot! If in doubt, ask any one of the members to follow you down
Cheers!

Hi ! Lyne Ho.
Go to BVO and tell them that you are from BMW forum.
I believed they will not over-charge you

Wah... tats very low mileage to wear out the pads. I can go for 2-3 track days and still clock another 20K mileage (more highway driving).

Ok... then its not so bad after all cos you change the brake pads alternately.
So effectively, each set of brake pads lasted about 50K. Tats reasonable.

Hi AC Boy,
Understand that you do comment on the Agritz Brake Pads, for it's performance, quality & the cleaniness.
What the pricing for the front & rear you got it done at BVO? Anyway, mine is a E46 318i Pre FL.
Have a nice day.
