I think I went like 2k miles past when iDrive said to replace them. There's typically some life left in them still

When mine tripped it said 1,000 miles until service. It was down to maybe 300 miles when I changed the pads, and it was in no danger of metal on metal at that point. It's a pretty conservative warning system, as opposed to a metal clip that hits the rotor and screams like a banshee. There's a clip, but it makes contact with the caliper to set off the warning, not the rotor.

Same driving style and conditions for all 3 vehicles. I know DSC will use the rear brakes under hard driving, but most of my driving it won't be DSC intervention causing the extra rear wear rates. I think one of the reasons may be light braking, (my normal use), brake harder and the fronts take up the front bias. If my brakes rust overnight, even after 12 miles driving, the rears will be completely clean and polished, the fronts can still be patchy with rust. Takes some heavy braking to polish up the front discs. |

http://www.aa1car.com/library/brake_balance.htm So while braking force is progressively more biased to the front for all the reasons I explained, this seemingly fast rear wear is totally understandable if not expected if it isn't being driven more aggressively.

Same occurred to me. Back brakes were ~30k left before I dropped it off for maintenance at dealer. Now they're at 1900 miles remaining. Fronts didn't change though.

Remember, DSC can squeeze the rear calipers when the wheels start to spin. Saw a 991 Porsche go through rear pads in 1000 miles at a HPDE

on my 13' n55 i had the brake service lights go off at 25k miles and took it to the dealer and they proceeded to tell me my software wasnt updated and it was a software issue and reset the CBS.
im at 35k miles and have no issues with pads or rotors on my n55
