I do a lot of city driving, and the OBD tells me front brakes are due in 2000 miles. Normal?

Are they original? If so, it's amazing you've made it that far!

Mine needed rear rotors & pads around 80k, I bought it @ 51k & that was my 1st set I had to replace

75k (328i) I'm going to replace front rotors/pads (I believe the rotors are being changed for the first time).
Where are you getting the job done? did you check the price?

$346 parts
$148 labor

Normal for you type of driving. Manual trans or auto?

Typical mileage to need brake service. You can get all parts for $500-600 and DIY is very doable even with low experience.

I don't even know how to jack up a car.

Oddly enough, I have almost 86K on my car and my front pads are reading 20K and rear are reading 40K. But the rotors are warped. So yes, it's normal to change the rotors at that mileage... Also, if you don't know how to jack up a car, don't try to change your brake pads and rotors. Too dangerous for others.

they pissed me off when they took my car to the automatic wash across the street haha. our family business is in ambler, just moved to conshohocken from horsham... classic coachworks in ambler just put on my front aero lip. surprised i haven't seen your car around.

[Cir14]

out of curiosity what’s the name of the family business? Drop me a PM if you’re in the area, wouldn’t mind taking a look @ the Aero Lip, discuss the tire / suspension set-up if it’s not stock. I'm throwing around the idea of replacing w/ Bilsteins or coil overs + plus getting a set of Non RFT. I'm also considering trading it in and getting an F30 (just need to find 1 w/ a manual trans, sports, premium & cold weather).
