I'm going back to OEM pads b/c the axxis have just given me fits w/ noise & vibration when braking. I took my rotors somewhere today and they refused to resurface them b/c they said BMW rotors couldn't be turned! WTF?
Max. machining limit per friction ring side (M models must not be machined!) mm 0.8

Find an independent BMW auto shop for rotor resurfacing. Make sure thickness after resurfacing is not less than MIN TH stamped on brake rotor.

while we are on the topic of brakes,
if my car stops well and pedal feels nice and firm is it important to change the brake fuild every 2 years like the idrive tells me to?
or can i go until i need new pads to do that as well?
