Break pad replacement?
I have about 21000 miles on my 99 BMW, and just got told by the dealer at a regular service interval that my break pads were totally shot and need replacement. Since this is "normal wear and tear" its not covered by the warranty.
So, my question is this: Is it really "normal wear and tear" to have front break pads completely shot after 21000 miles? This seems WAY early to me, and therefore should come under warranty protection. Am I wrong?

I'd say it's on the low end of normal for your type of car.
