Brake Alert

Hello,

I have a 2012 X5 diesel with around 17k miles on it.

A few days ago I got a brake wear alert message including a message on the screen, light on the dash, indication in the status log, etc. It remained all day including a few start/stops.

The next day the messages were gone.

The truck was serviced two weeks ago and the service rep said the brakes were fine and had lots of life left.

Any ideas about what's going on? And what should I do?

Thanks!

I'm going out on a limb here, but I would think that you should make a service appointment and have it checked. But that's just me, call me crazy

+1 - you are under warranty so take it back and get it fixed. If your dealer can't find the problem take it to the dealer right down the road -- we have two big ones right in your area, BMW of Stevens Creek (ask for Erin) and Mountain View BMW (I won't buy a car from them but their service is OK) good luck!
