I did two-piece stoptech rotors on my Viper. The solid rotors on those were 27lbs each wheel. The stoptech rotors are around 17.x lbs each. So I saved 10lbs per wheel, its a huge difference in rotating mass. I improve my MPG, not kidding and feels a lot more agile having lost that weight. The car isnt working as hard to rotate all 4 wheels!!!

Pros: significant weight saving, improved agility, better MPG
Vehicle: Dodge Viper

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

I used StopTech slotted rotors (not drilled and slotted) and semi-metallic pads on my 2006 Lexus GX470. Obviously I've changed the brake pads a few times but after 200K miles (yes, that many) my rotors are still in excellent shape. I will not buy anything else, ever

Pros: rotors still in shape

I’ve replaced brakes 7 times on my 18 AWD GT2. The set I have on now have lasted me the longest (installed them in May and have driven 5k with them). I bought mine from K8StingerStore. Rotors are Stoptech Performance Premium Rotors

Pros: lasted longest, good performance
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 5000 km

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
Vehicle: BMW
