I had about 21K miles on my car at the time and iDrive was saying that I had another 10K miles to go. But when they checked the brakes (since I had complained about the squeaking), they found that the brake pads were actually worn below BMW specs and the brake pad sensor was rubbing against the rotors, causing wear on the rotor. So, they had to replace the pads, sensors, and rotors.

Now I have 25k miles and the squeaking is back. The only thing I've noticed is that this seems to more common for people who do a lot of city (stop and go) type driving.
