The fact is people complained about brake dust, so BMW changed the pad composition and they last longer, with less dust. For those that do want to have the wearables added in, it's around $1k to extend to 4/50 as it used to be.
I agree why pay for something you don't need. As you say you can add back in the stuff BMW took out for $1000. But wait, did BMW reduce their MSRP across the board by $1000 when they cut the maintenance plan? Nope, they cut the coverage and MSRPs went up. No matter how you look at it BMW reducing the maintenance plan and taking out coverage options is worse for everybody.
