The vehicle is over 10 years old....nothing of what you posted is unexpected and is quite frankly unreasonable NOT to expect all of those items in terms of maintenance (if not from the miles....based on age alone). Secondly, a handheld propane torch is for plumbers; if you expect any kind of real results get your hands on a real fire wrench (Oxy Acetylene Torch). Personally I find it hard to believe even a dealer could not get rotors off one way or another...Theres ALWAYS a way.

IMO it's posts like this that give incredible vehicles such as the E53 a bad wrap; when, in actuality, it's the owners who are at fault for not being prudent with the scheduled maintenance or armed with any sort of preventative measures.
