Damn, they must be for a truck or something, I literally just yesterday got my Powerstops rotors shipped to me from RA (bought a few days ago) with a couple other small things in the same order/box and it was only $20 for the shipping, that\u2019s crazy

Pros: cheap shipping cost

Use either BMWPartsDirect or GetBMWParts website, buy genuine BMW parts and find a good mechanic in your area (maybe even mobile mechanic who would come to you and replace rotors and pads). In LA I paid $180 for the labor to replace front rotors and pads on my X5, for example.

One of those checks will be a minimum thickness on discs and pads. Given you've only done just over 1000 miles in the vehicle since purchase, it would seem to me that the minimum thickness on the discs when the vehicle was sold to you was at or below that required as part of the pre-sale check.

Pros: minimum thickness on discs
Cons: discs below required thickness

For example on my 4 series if you took it to a dealership to have the front disks and pads done you are looking at over £900.

Cons: dealerships get very expensive

Rating 1.0

Those BMW CSL drilled rotors suck. They came\nstock on my e85 M & they cause horrible pedal pulsation. I did a very deep dive on this after multiple sets & replacing multiple parts & checking everything 20x.\n\nThe bottom line is, those rotors are very susceptible to unlocking thickness variation or warped rotors secondary to water getting in the holes & corrosion forming around them.

Cons: horrible pedal pulsation, rotors susceptible to warping
