Depends how you drive.. better to replace them sooner rather than later tho.
BMW M3
Presume thats with fitting? Yes anyway lol Dealers are always going to be expensive for stuff like that. Ferodo DS2500 are around £80 iirc.
And fitting should only take 30mins.
Look at some of the prices for brakes here.... http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecommerce/Parts.asp

BG 182
i changed my own for 20 quid
£17 for FDB845 from Halfords. 40 minutes to fit. No need in DS2500's I chnaged to them only becaise I managed once on one track day to fade them but that was at Bedford which kills brakes no other track day did it.
Your pads arn't worn though.
The thing is Renault say any less than half of the material worn and ther worn as they have a minimum thickness which is quite a lot. You can use them right down.
£77+vat ins't bad for Renault prices.

Nope not worth chnaging unless your unhappy or think there damaged.
If Renault techies have been fiddling they might have knocked dirty round I woulnd't pwrry about a little squeking they might have removed the calieprs and the pads arn't sitting in exactly the same place.
I'd say there about 30% or so worn.
A rule of thumb I use is one set of front tyres last as long as a set of pads.
RB 182 Cup
Strangely enough, took mine in the other week to Renault and they said my rear pads were 70% worn.
£ 89 inc VAT to replace, while they've got the wheels off.
No thanks I said, my mate is a racing engineer [and a fully skilled mechanic], he'll do them for nowt if i get the pads.
PS, 1500 miles later, still not had them changed......stilll no problems either.

More than adequate I did loads of track days on them driving as hard as i could without issue the 150hp homogolised Williams used the same brakes so thats an idea how good they are. the cars overbrakes realy compare the brakes to other sporty cars ie SXI corsa and you'll see how oversized the brakes are.
Its diffiuclt to give an exact figure for wear so they just almost make up what they want mine have been officialy 10% worn they had only been on for about 4 miles.
err its more usalt for the wear to be
Most wear
Front passenger
Front driver
Rear passenger
Rear driver
Least wear
Just have a look at the tyres yoursefl see if the wear is nice and even at the front thats all you can worry about as well as the pressure being right.
They are unlikly to have got the measuring stuff out and measure accorsa a few points they'll have done it by eye which ins't that accurate)
If you have differetn compunds though front and rear they wear at different rates.
