One of those checks will be a minimum thickness on discs and pads. Given you've only done just over 1000 miles in the vehicle since purchase, it would seem to me that the minimum thickness on the discs when the vehicle was sold to you was at or below that required as part of the pre-sale check.
Get the Zimmerman rotors (I got the drilled) and Akebono pads. They are awesome!!
Rotors: Zimmermann blanks.
I just put on Zimmerman rotors and hawk 5.0 pads all around and it’s been great. Stops quick, doesn’t make much noise, and not too expensive
The Zimmerman/Akebono combo is what I have. They're great. I wouldn't have anything else.
I use Zimmerman coated rotors are most everything in our shop and they work great.
Got quoted 3k CAD for pads/rotors, bought Zimmerman drilled and brembo ceramics for 1500 and did them myself. Took 4 hrs taking my time, very simple job if you have the means to do it yourself
Personally, I like to use ceramic brake pads wherever possible from a quality manufacturer. They produce less brake dust, seem to last longer, and are very quiet. I put ceramics on all my cars. I also like Zimmerman rotors. They're actually more expensive than the OE/OEM rotors, but I like the quality and think they're worth the price.
I’m seeing some very small cracks on the cross-drilled holes. At what point does this become concerning? These are the front rotors on a new G82 M4 comp after about 6 track days using Pagid R29 Yellow pads which I’ve used before with no issues. My preference is to keep the stock rotors rather than switching to non cross drilled rotors
For example on my 4 series if you took it to a dealership to have the front disks and pads done you are looking at over £900.
