How often should I change the brakes on my BMW i8?

I recently purchased a BMW i8 and I am wondering how often I should expect to change the brakes? The car is designed to regenerate energy through the brakes, so does that mean they will last longer than traditional brakes?

As a general rule, you should plan on replacing the brakes on your BMW i8 every 30,000-50,000 miles. However, since the car uses regenerative braking, the brakes may last longer than traditional brakes. It ultimately depends on your driving habits and the conditions in which you drive.

The i8's regenerative braking system does reduce the wear and tear on the brakes, but that doesn't mean they won't need to be replaced eventually. It's important to listen for any squealing or grinding noises, as that could indicate the need for new brakes.
