My 2010 Clubman S needed new brakes at 65000. My 2007 Justa was traded at 80,000 with original brakes. Both cars were primarily highway miles.

 

lol....my F56 front's were done at 10,500 miles........

I drive hard....

 

So the answer is anywhere between 10,000 and 80,000 miles, dePening on the cars use and your driving style.

 

When I got my R56 at 36K miles, I never had to change them in 4 years and 13K in miles. My R53 needed new pads at 55K miles. I hope that I can get a few years out of my F56 before I need them. The good thing is if you don't let them go too far and warp the disks, you can just do pads and sensors, expensive yes but you will be in good shape.

 

Driving in to Yellowstone thru Teton a 'Kalofonian' had to have the space in front of us. On coming traffic dictated I opt for the bar ditch. We must have passed them at a turn out in the Teton area because he pulled the same stunt shortly before we got to the Yellowstone gate. There were two lanes at the gate and I took the right one and eventually got thru ahead of him. Karma. But I doubt he got the point.

 

This is exactly why people on this forum, and everywhere, go through a set of pads in under 12,000 miles.

I would LOVE to see the law enforcement officers place an emphasis on this issue. Apparently they don't care about enforcing speed limits, window tint laws, lighting regulations/standards, or any one of dozens of other laws put in place for public safety.

 

I bought my car new and the rears lasted 12k miles, the fronts are still the factory originals and I am at 40k miles.
