Hello group,

I have a 2021 BMW X3 with only 22k miles. It looks like I may need to replace the brake pads soon. There are only a few millimeters left. I don't know why those pads are going so fast. On my previous BMW, the brakes were like new after 40k, and my driving style did not change. My only guess is that manufacturing quality went down.

In any case, I have a few questions:

  • What is the best replacement option for brake pads in my car? Semi-metallic or ceramic? Which brand?
  • Do I need to replace rotors, or is refacing acceptable?

If I take the car to the  BMW dealership, they will stand for the OEM pads and new rotors.

Thank you in advance,

Alex
