45e owners break wear experience?

X5Pye · 05-11-2023, 08:10 AM

I am curious if my 50e will ever need to have the rotors or pads replaced. I finally caved in and replaced them on my 2012 X5d due to internal rust between the rotor surfaces. I am pretty sure I could have gotten another 5 years out of them since the pads were still good.

BMW has changed the break rotor design since 2012, so I am hoping the rotors will last a long time.

What are your experiences with your 45e brake wear?

I don’t have recent measurements on my MY21 45e M Sport, but considering I try to coast to a stop as much as possible due to regenerative braking resistance, I figure the brakes/pads will have a longer longevity compared to regular braking
