Was iDrive reset when the brakes were done? If it was, I would suspect a bad wear sensor or your old one wasn't replaced.

You could try the reset in the cluster and see if that fixes it.

Something likely happened to the sensor. As already stated, perhaps the old one wasn't replaced or the new one wasn't properly installed and came loose and was damaged thus giving the indication the brake pads are worn.
