Disc replacement cost

BMW were not interested. - I’ve just had to bite the bullet and cough up the £££‘s

I think it’s been a bad batch of parts - In my previous experience, under use normally shows up first on the rear discs - they are both currently pristine.
 
Is that rust at the periphery of the disc? If so, there’s been a huge unswept area - had the correct pads been fitted previously? I suppose you might be able to skim those discs and use them again.

The discs and pads were new oem - the deterioration is beyond skimming as they would go too thin .
I think they were sub standard from new.

The car was bought new in July 2015 and treated with care and respect - that’s probably why they’re goosed!
 
I’ve just had my front discs replaced early aswell, 38k and 4 years or so. They were equally disgusting as your pictures, did you ever have a ticking noise from the front?
 
But do you get today's newspapers, TV and free Wi-Fi? :roll:

No ticking noise but they always (even from branx new ) sounded a bit rough.

My 35iS fronts were ticking on full lock, and they whipped out a technical note from BMW HQ. Basically the default pads don't fit very well in the calipers, so wobble a bit and cause a ticking noise over rough surfaces / full lock. Pretty shoddy if you ask me! Has also given some premature wear to the front discs, and I got stung for the unknown M tax aswell! I think mine was £480 for just the fronts :headbang:
