Needing new pads at 7k miles or shortly there after sounds pretty excessive wear normally. I got around 40K on my initial OEM set of pads and rotors. If you drive pretty aggressively with a lot of heavy braking, I can see the high wear. Also, it has been my experience with my 5 BMWs over the years that when the pads are due, it is usually a good time to replace the rotors also. Usually fewer issues with pad seating and braking vibration. But to each their own.
