Brake Pad Service Indicator

Where did the Brake Pad Service Indicator go in the Condition Based Service (CBS)? Was this eliminated in G11/G12? Can it be coded? Every BMW I have ever owned has had it.

I was wondering myself, every BMW I had it had the feature expect G-series. I think BMW removed it for some reason...

So it seems the CBS in I-drive does monitor the brakes. It will show up in CBS when the pads have only 2500 miles left.

The CBS that you're used to is wildly inaccurate, hence the reason to get rid of it and only display the warning once the pad sensor has been cut indicating pads are due.
