Do I need to replace the brake pads frequently in my BMW 8 Series?

I recently purchased a BMW 8 Series and noticed that the brake pads seem to wear out faster than in my previous car. Is this normal and how often should I expect to replace the brake pads?

It is not uncommon for BMW brake pads to wear out faster than those in other cars due to their performance-oriented design. However, how often you need to replace them depends on your driving habits and the condition of your vehicle. If you frequently drive aggressively or in stop-and-go traffic, you may need to replace them more often. It's best to consult your owner's manual or a trusted mechanic for specific intervals.

In general, it is recommended to replace brake pads every 50,000 miles. However, it is important to regularly check on their wear and tear, and consider replacing them sooner if needed. Also, make sure to get your brakes inspected during regular maintenance appointments to catch any issues early on.
