The brakes due in X,XXX miles warning is inaccurate and confusing, and should be rethought by the engineers.
If BMW wanted to be smart about it, they should have a two stage sensor instead of a simple one stage. (and they could charge more for the sensor, despite not really being much more expensive...)
First sensor would trigger an update in vehicle status, that would more accurately suggest brakes will be due within X,XXX miles (simple for car computer to create an average wear time), and later on it would then trigger a warning on the dash/cluster, telling owner they will need to set up appointment asap.
Would be a lot less confusing for most non mechanics, and less waste of time for mechanics/ service advisers having to explain how inaccurate the warning is...
