well took x5 to mechanic and got into a row with him after he told me it wont be done today, i asked him why the hell you tell me to bring it in today? i need car! he that said in the off chance another car is done earlier we can squeeze you in,otherwise next appointment is 14th july! i cant drive for another 2 weeks with that warning on i said, in the meantime he checked and said i need both front and rear pads (got em) and the discs/rotors too needed changing....! they have a lip on them i would say 2mm max.....and car has done some 108,000 miles and not been replaced....i asked if old rotors can be planed he said no.....anyway happy days.....pain the rear

anyhow worse case i will ask him to do fronts pads and discs, and stick on the new pads on the rear too and not change out the rotors at rear as I can't remember where I put the rear rotors....
