BMW does NOT say you need new rotors every time you need pads. See reference page from the TIS. There is also an SIB 340508 discussing this in detail see attached. If you claim they do, post the bulletin or other document that shows it. Otherwise you are making this stuff up as you go along and I disagree with virtually everything you've written so far, having owned BMW's for over 40 years.
