Well, ah, the brake pad wear sensor is the real determining factor to justify BMW replacing the brake pads. The CBS reading of 28% remaining is just an estimate. Why don't you just take the pads out (with the sensor attached) take them over to your high school wood shop class and sand down the pads on the belt sander until they are below minimum thickness spec, put them back in the calipers and take it to the dealer to have them give you free brakes...
I suggest a 180-grit sanding belt so the pads don't look like they were taken out, sanded down on a belt sander, and then re-installed.
