Brake discs GiroDisc or OEM BMW
I just ordered pads, rotors and sensors for my 16 M235i. Cost out the door was $1000 for BMW OEM parts. Rotors are each unless it's bought in a kit. ($177 each) Rotors are likely smaller on the rear wheels.
Pros: OEM quality, good price
Vehicle:
BMW
S2000 1 piece oem rotors last 2 weekends
Girodisc s2000 oem size 2 piece rotors lasted me almost 2 years of heavy tracking. They only died because my hawk er1 pads took a chunk out of one. They still had plenty of thickness
Pros: long lasting, durable
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Girodisc rotors are awesome and well proven across many vehicle brands.

I'd buy a set of Girodisc rotors. They will last 10 times longer than crap audi rotors.
Pros: last 10 times longer
Cons: crap audi rotors
Vehicle:

Definitely approaching end of life. I wouldn’t have a safety concern just yet but you’re getting close. Go with Girodisc for your next set. They’re more expensive but they are amazing.
Pros: amazing
Cons: more expensive
I've installed drilled and slotted rotors on my pickup, BMW X5, and just ordered a set for my BMW Z3. I live in the mountains, drive spirited, and definitely have improved braking performance with them. Make sure you bed the pads in correctly.
Pros: improved braking
Vehicle:
BMW X5

Update for all those following along. My brakes were the best they've ever been today - on a very, very hot day (feels-like temp over 100). I had a vibration with light brake pressure, but pressed on giving more pressure and found that as the brakes got more heat in them, and I went deeper into the braking zone, the vibration disappeared. All was well, but after checking the rotors, they appear to have developed cracks.
Pros: best brakes ever
Cons: developed cracks, vibration
Vehicle:
Audi TT RS
have drilled and slotted rotors for it with pads not installed, only problems are it needs the new brakes installed the current ones are warped
Cons: warped current brakes
Vehicle:
BMW

Cons: tiny, pitiful heat capacity
