well i have 24k and over 21months on my originals and waiting to change them soon, but for a car like this and the way i drive this is remarakably good for me, in your case it possible that the stealership is being "over cautious" and asking you to change your brakes.

Are you experiencing any fade, squeaks, vibrations or other brake related problems or is it just because the dealer told you that you need replacing?

if you are experiencing the vibrations at such then yes you do need new brakes and turning rotors again and agian does not help, so maybe new rotors, but you will have to analyze the way you brake.

I got 50k+ on my brakes.

I just replaced my rears and the fronts still have a bit left.

It could also be your wheels. Get them balanced or checked out.

Seems you need a brake with higher heat capacity. Have you considered the OEM BBK?
