I read your post above. My brakes are 3000 miles from replacing per the sensors, even though the pads are at 5mm remaining and the dealer states.

Did the dealer actually only replace pads in your X5M in the past?

I am thinking of doing just pads and sensors on mine, since I am about to come out of warranty in a few days.

Let me know if you have any thoughts on this.
They only replaced front pads and the sensor (not the rotors).
If you have a good relationship with your SA, he can hook you up for the last warranty service. Or try to complain of noise or steering vibration when stopping.
Thanks for your reply!

I already tried to sway them but they would not budge.

The sensor is indicating 3000 miles but the pads are only 1/2 worn. The rotors look new. I think I will do the pads and sensors at an Indy shop once the sensors indicate 0 miles, and go for rotors in a year if a noise becomes apparent.
