What is the thickness of BMW brake pads?

[LaJuliette]

BMW brake pads are approximately 1.5mm thick. Raised indicator: Each brake pad has raised indicators on both sides, with a thickness of about 2-3mm, which represents the minimum replacement limit for brake discs. If the brake pad thickness has worn down to be level with these indicators, replacement is mandatory. Therefore, when the brake pad thickness approaches these indicators, vehicle owners should monitor them closely and be prepared for replacement. However, it's difficult to accurately observe this without removing the tires. Many vehicle models now provide a warning light on the dashboard when the brake pads become too thin, making self-inspection more convenient. Suggestion: There is no strict replacement interval for brake pads as it depends on driving conditions and habits. Generally, replacement should be considered after about 60,000 kilometers. When visual inspection shows that the brake pads are thin, it's advisable to have a technician check them during maintenance, as visual inspection can be inaccurate. Professional repair stations use calipers for more precise measurements than visual inspection.
