Interesting issue.
There are specs on the rotors for thickness- the problem is that one could conceivably replace the pads and the rotors are fine, but in the ensuing period you could run the rotors down below their minimum and still not hit the pad wear sensor. A BMW dealer will replace both pads and rotors even if the rotors are OK to avoid liability.
Personally I can check them myself and replace the rotors when needed. on other cars I can usually get a few pad sets per rotor...YMMV
