Electrical/Software Fault

Hi Guys,

Haven't posted on here for a while but the other day was driving along and the rear brake pad light notice came on, upon further investigation it told me that in approx. 900 miles they were due for replacement (given the car has done 13,900 miles), I thought this was a bit soon, given I don't exactly brake hard etc.

But took it to the dealer, asked him to check if it was a faulty sensor and to save the parts so I could see how worn they were. Got a call in the afternoon to say the brakes and the sensor are fine but the software needed to be reset (a glitch apparently). I said ok, went back to pick the car up and this had failed and BMW are trying to do it remotely, from Germany!! So I will hear in the morning.....hopefully!

Just wanted to know if anyone had, had a similar experience? tried searching the forum but nothing came up.

Thanks
