Maybe the biggest factor in brake life is the brake material itself.
BMW typically uses a softer brake material that gives up their life faster but with superior braking ability.
I know many people who have changed from the OEM material to a longer life pad.
They work fine but don't stop as well as the OEM pads.
I currently have 32K on my front pads. The car just passed state inspection, so they are still OK. I don't think I'll make it to 40K without replacing them.
