I am driving X5 at the moment. My brake pad replacement indicator light came on, so i called BMW for service. The advisor quoted me $545 including replacing front pads, pad sensor, and replacing rotors.

What does she mean replacing rotors? does she mean machining rotors and not replacing rotors? I used to drive an acura and serving brake means getting a machine to smooth out my rotor surface, hardly ever heard of replacing rotors unless they are old and bad.

My X5 is new, i am abit confused with this female service advisor.

Can some of you bimmer owners shed some light for my noob experience ?

That sounds pretty cheap, instead of inquiring on a forum, why dont you call her and ask her yourself.

BMW replaces rotors, not machines them.

So what you are saying is you got a 335i courtesy car when you've never had servicing done at the dealership....how does that work?

They've come to my house every time, picked up my car, and left the 335i with me. And I'm pretty sure you can switch dealerships for service.

What he's referring to is probably valet service. pick up/drop off.

Rich, is your avatar from one of those porsche events at the police training facility?
