50,000 KM M3-- Needs new brake pads and rotors?

Took my 2016 F80 in for an oil change and I'm being told that the vehicle needs both new pads and rotors on all 4 wheels. At 50,000 KM I am baffled. How is this possible?

Dealership revenue incentive based on measured rotor and pad thickness as defined by the manufacturer.

It means it behooves both BMW and the dealer to tell you maintenance items are due before they are due.
