Extended Maintenance Plan

I bought my CPO '15 335i two months ago along with the extended maintenance plan since the brakes need to be replaced soon. The thing is, the car still says that the brakes are fine for another two years or more. The car also says that I won't need service for another 9000 miles when I start it, which would put it past the oil change interval. Can I just schedule an appointment whenever, or do I have to wait until the on-board computer tells me to?

The brake life estimate is just that, an estimate, and a very bad one at that. The system can't actually measure pad thickness. But weren't they new when you bought the car? I'd think they would have put new pads on a CPO. The oil is also a guesstimate, a bit better one, being both time and mileage based. Once it approaches either 10,000 miles or 1 year from delivery date you should get a dash message to schedule an appointment.

They didn't replace the pads for me when I bought the car as CPO. Can I just schedule an appointment to replace the pads whenever I want? They told me that I had 2 mm left for the rear pads (7 mm at the time).

You'll have to ask them. They may or may not agree to replace the pads before the sensor trips.
