How often should I change the brake pads in my BMW X3?

I just bought a BMW X3 and I want to make sure I'm properly maintaining it. How often should I replace the brake pads to ensure optimal performance?

It's recommended to change the brake pads on your BMW X3 every 50,000 miles or when the thickness is less than 3mm.

Check your owner's manual for specific guidelines tailored to your model and driving habits. It may also depend on your driving style and mileage.

Pay attention to any signs of wear or noises when braking, as this could indicate the need for replacement. It's better to err on the side of caution and replace them sooner rather than later.
