Anyway, I have noticed that my car wants the rear brake pads replaced in 17000 km, and the front ones in 90000 km. A visual inspection does however indicate that the front pads are more worn. My front wheels have been totally covered in brake dust a couple of times after track driving.
I got the same experience, but the M135i must have another rear diff no? Although same concept.
