Rear brake pads shortage?

So I got the dash warning rear pads are due, scheduled a trip to dealership only to find out that BMW is out of stock for OEM rear pads, and expect to have them on inventory mid-October

What? Tried at different other dealers, same story, looks like BMW Europe is out of stock.
I need them in 1,000 miles, otherwise just need to park the car until mid-October.

Anyone else in the same situation?

Yeah, ordered a set of brembo's, problem is the dealer doesn't want to install aftermarket. They said they'll give me a loaner until oem pads are back in stock

Ordered a set of oem' from ECS Tuning, with an estimated ship date August 20. Fingers crossed though, cause the estimated ship date kept getting longer since I placed the order

Haha, damn man. Fingers crossed for sure! At least they offered a loaner for that long, that's a solid deal. Although i would question the fact that you're still paying for a vehicle you can't drive because BMW itself failed to provide you with an adequate ability.
