The figures shown in the Vehicle Information screens only shown how long the brakes should last, it does not shown actual wear of the brakes. I would have to side with the Dealer on you are using the brakes a lot, mine are still good after 36,000 km, and should last at least another 10,000 km based on the wear so far

I can't speak about your driving skills or your brothers, but my e90 brakes lasted 50 thousand miles, that's 80 thousand kilometers. And at 15 thousand miles my Z4 still has 70% of their life... Maybe it's time to rethink your driving habits.

Apart from a mechanical problem, I don't know how you wear out your breaks that fast unless you ride around with your left foot resting on the peddle.
