2015 BMW 3-Series 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD

36120 mi Brake pads worn, rotors were etched. I had been telling the dealer for a year that I thought the brakes needed to be done. They kept telling me everything was fun despite what I believed was excessive wear and noise. They were relying on the electronic indicator which for some reason failed on my car. Finally got them to replace the brakes after complaining endlessly about the noise.
