I would say that depends on what the friction surface looks like. If it is worn, turning the rotors is a good idea.
AFAIK, BMW doesn't have a specific requirement to change the rotors, it is just that usually when pads are replaced, there isn't enough meat left on the rotor.
I just did my fronts with Axxis pads, and put new jobber rotors on (half the price of BMW). I will replace the rear pads in a few weeks with Axxis Deluxe as well, for the dust reduction, even though they are only half worn. I don't see the need to replace the rotors in that case.
