I think it's due to weight. Sorry, but I don't think anyone will pay that much for shipping alone. They must be smoking that good BC stuff.

Rotor recommendations:
RockAuto CENTRIC High Carbon Alloy Brake Disc Reasons: Fit, finish (come with a black center that does not wear off) and great wear Pads: POWER STOP Z17 Evolution Plus; Evolution Plus Pads w/ Hardware Reason: No dust, no noise, good modulation when warm, cold stopping power like OE, and easy on your rotors. If you push hard all day, then go with Cool Carbon as it will live in that environment. For cheap they even have under $10 pads. Now if you value your life you might want to think twice before buying, but then.............

Return them or have them machined parallel. I have them on 4 vehicles and have installed them on more than a few over the past 4 years with no issues.
I would offer one suggestion before doing anything. Take a https://www.amazon.com/3M-07547-Scot.../dp/B0013HHNPY pad to the front and rear surfaces to clean off any pad material and see if that does not resolve the issue. One too many "warped" issues can be resolved this way. Cliff Notes: Problem: Pad material over heated and transfers resins to the rotor leaving a "high spot" that becomes a grab point under braking. Solution: Remove materials.

the centric high carbon rotors i am using look perfect. not a spec of rust. but aftert getting and installing a set of new BMW brand front rotors fro a guy parting an x5, all braking vibrations are gone. I am so relieved to go back to BMW Brand rotors and pads. best stopping poweer for me. I dont care about thebrake dust as I clean my wheels so much anyhow.
So I must have heated the Centric rotors up too much during the bed-in procedure. Last time I do that procedure. No one else I know does that and they have great brakes... Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

BMW rotors are not designed to be turned. They are considered a sacrificial part of the braking performance just as are the pads.
Other than bigger brakes, it makes it much harder to decrease stopping distance with aftermarket combinations. Like many here I have aftermarket pads and rotors. And like many it seems like my choice is better than stock but my bet is none of us have any reliable proof other than the brake version of the butt dyno. All I know for sure is I like the look of the rotors, dust is minimal and I haven't hit anything. I have never seen a comparison of braking 'packages' for any BMW. I don't recall seeing anything even comparing distance and fade of big brake packages and stock brakes.
