Exclamation $946 for brake pads, REALLY?

Hey how are ya, relitivtely new on here. I bought a mint 08 135i M sport a few months back and love it, wouldn't change a thing!

I've had a bit of brake squeel from the fronts but its been intermitent to the day and conditions, so no big deal right. I brought the car in my last time back at home to have them checked, being that I only bought 2 months ago and haven't put more than 3500km/2000mi since I drove it off the lot.

The service woman is trying to set me up with a appointment a hands me a quote for $946(with a straight face I might add!), she's telling me that the cars due of the service and to be expected. OK I can live with that, the part that caught me off was the price! I'll pay it but not before I ask the question.
-Do I need to go thru BMW service for these pads in order to keep from voiding warrantee?
-Is this the way things are going to be in order to maintain this love affair with my car? I should stop calling my car Awesome, and rename it as a dependant!

Thanks in advance for your replies.
