When I traded our ‘17 Gsw with 191k mi. it still had original brakes all around. We try to be easy on the brakes, coast down to 40 or so if possible before using brakes at stop signs.
I made it to 240k on my ‘19 before I had to change the fronts. I still have 6/32 on the rear pads at 255k now too. The factory pads are crazy good
I might get scolded by the purest, but I went with these R1 Concepts on my 2019 X5.\n\nI too was shocked when the dealer quoted over 2k for brakes, so I started looking at options. I\u2019ve had them for about two years, they have performed excellent and they look amazing.
Especially if you've got a 2019+ Mk7.5, stock Performance Pack brakes will be plenty. That's what I brought to the Dragon. Just make sure your brake fluid is good and you're not due for new pads and rotors for a bit.
1.4 auto is a good box. Will be nippy but get the brakes checked and renewed if necessary.
When I traded in my 2018 Jetta at just under 90k miles it still had the original front pads and rotors, but the rear brakes needed to be done at 60k miles, and then within my last year of ownership one of the rear calipers seized and needed to be replaced.
I would suggest going to [www.buybrakes.com](http://www.buybrakes.com) and get the R1 Concepts pads for the front and rear. The ones Rockauto has growl a little bit.
I think their break pads are not lasting long. On my 1.5 DSG Kushaq I’m also not getting the break bite which I used to get and they make screeching sounds when are applied, considering the car has only done 17k km till now.
I also have squealing brakes when they are cold and reversing. When they're done, I'll have them replaced with good aftermarket brakes.
Only issues have been the insanely squeaky brakes, the sound quality on the speakers in the cold and crappy wipers.
