What really matters is the rotor thickness when you change your pads. If the rotor is not warped (most likely it probably isn't) then just change the pads. You will not feel vibrations.

Just because you bought a car that is 70k you cannot be reasonably money conscious? I hear this over and over again and think this is one of the stupidest things I've heard.. Over and over again.

Brakes are brakes on each and every car. While there will be applications of carbon ceramic or slotted or whatever, this doesn't change the practice of changing pads to rotors. Just because you bought a bmw doesn't mean you have to take magical care of brakes. Its just brake pads and steel. That's it.

wtf 60k miles?!
