Sorry, I don't understand your message?
The pads were not mentioned in the dealer service back in January so I assume they were fitted by the dealer at a service prior to our ownership.
I can't imagine many people take a less than 3 year old car to somewhere other than the dealer for servicing. I know it does happen though.
Definitely not had anything in the last 18 months other than the dealer 4 year service.

Why would non BMW pads affect the working of the brake drying?
I can't think of any reason particularly as this problem only started about a month ago.
The reservoir cap was off for either 5 months or possibly back to Aug 17 when the dealer last recorded a fluid change.
I think this is connected with the fault but it could be a red herring.

I would have thought that BMW would have their own "forum" for mechanics to record problems and solutions.
