Before I go on with the story, I have 2004 530i.

The dealership is really far away from me, so i took my car to my local specialist to change my brakes.

After he changed my brakes, my car starts to shake like crazy on my left side whenever I step on the brakes.
So I told him what happened, and he said it might be warped. It was warped, and he changed for me. Now the braking shake is gone, whenever I'm driving I can feel vibration on my left side still. I did my alignment, change my tires, check for bent rims, it still shakes!!!
I took my car to him again and he said it drives fine. What is going on???? Is it because he didn't install the rotor correctly?
I feel the vibration mostly where my gas pedal is, the wheel vibration is very subtle.

Should I get these and replace my current rotor??

I actually bought the brakes and the charcoal cabin filters from this seller on ebay last week. So far no issues, they also came within 5 days from California to New York. If that helps you out.
