Brake pads life

Will the G30 show brake pads life after a while or is this another feature that's worse/missing from the G30? The car I drove only had brake fluid life/date but not remainig brake pad mileage.

Because the old way was just an estimate and very inaccurate with many cars they have made it so it will count down the km remaining (think its 5,000km) once the one wear sensor on the pad has been triggered.

Should make many owners happy

On my soon to be surrendered F10, the system showed new pass needed in about 8000km when the car had done 40k km. There was a lot more life left in them so I simply did a reset and the next owner should get a realistic reminder once the wear sensor has triggered.

Is it brake fluid only or actually the brake pads?
