Idrive is showing 300 miles until front pads need changing. Obviously this is only an estimate.

Is it best to wait for the yellow brake light to come on the dash to change them?

Also does anyone know the manufacturer who makes the OEM pads for the brmebo caliper? Looking at some pics it looks like Jurid?

It really is best to visually check all 4 pads, the inboard ones could be more worn than the outer ones. Although as your sensor has triggered, you're really best to change them ASAP to avoid potential damage to the discs.

Oem pads are made by Jurid, but they're not available on the aftermarket, the only Jurid pads available are Jurid White, which are ceramic pads, which will mean much less brake dust and possibly less squealing, but also less initial bite.

Pagid, TRW, Textar, ATE etc pads are all equivalent to oem.

Thanks. But the sensor has not been triggered. If it was , the brake warning light on the instrument cluster would show. But it does not, only the estimation in idrive is showing the 300 miles reminder.

Was wondering how accurate the idirve mileage counter is on the F3x? On the E90 it was not very accurate at all for brake pads.

The cbs counts down to just over 3000 miles and then waits until the sensor is triggered to continue counting down, so your sensor has triggered.

Thanks. going for Pagid. £40 for pads and sensor is a great price from Euro car parts.

I was wrong about Jurid semi metallic pads not being available, Jurid 573602J are available for around £80

Yes I did see that but went for pagid at less than half the price.

You won't be disappointed, they're good pads.
