I can't see why the rear brakes would wear more on a 116i or 118d than say on a 135i. ???

For my 135i... My front and rear are wearing almost the same rate. Almost 60K kms and they are toast on all four corners around for me.
Thanks Dackel.

I forgot about the e-diff using the rear pads. I don't think I spin the rears a lot but must be more than I should! The DSC just flash a bit sometimes when I power out of a corner or doing WOT acceleration. Which is not all the time.

BTW I have only 36,000km on a 3yr old car and that is how much pad wear it says I have left!
