Brakes Replaced under Scheduled maintenance
Has Anyone Had there Brakes replaced under scheduled maintenance? If so did they change the pads and rotors? Or did they Cut the rotors and change just the Pads. I would hope they change the fluid as well. I'm curious Because I had Brembos on my last car and from experience cutting the rotors is not the way to go. New Pads and rotors are key if you want the car to stop the same or better.

If you could get sweet looking rotors and only pay a small amount why wouldn't you? |

Will a few track days result in needing a replacement? |

Wish you the best of luck on getting the brakes covered under warranty.
Your vehicle will half to have a serious problem and low mileage for the brakes to be covered under warranty. Brakes are a wearable item. |

just because its covered doesn't mean they will do anything about it.
its like the oil change... Free, when they want to do it every 10,000 miles. You thought you could just drive up and get new brakes?

BMW's 4 year/50k mile service period includes brakes on my 2014, so the dealer replaced them for free. The miles included maybe 6-8 track days (3-4 weekends) and 8-10 autocrosses.

You could very well have different warranty than us here In Canada. I personally have never seen brake pads and rotors be warrantied unless something very abnormal or a serious problem with them.
Not saying it isn't possible on your end, was just my thoughts that's all. |

Thanks, rwalker. Good to know. Trying to figure out which servicing package to get. Down here we have to pay for the service package unless they have a promotion going on. 1.5k AUD for the standard oil/filter package and an extra 2k AUD for these additional maintenance items:

If you track it, I think that sounds like a really good deal.
