The brake disk minimum thickness (MIN TH) is stamped on brake disk body.
Models:545i 645Ci mm 28.4 (Front) Max. machining limit per friction ring side mm 0.8
If you measure the thickness and it's more than minimum, you're OK.
The calipers with carriers, both front and rear, were a steal for that price IMHO. The pads are really cheap.
You can also get new rotors, drilled or slotted, from our member vendors also. Good luck

I think you're being overly dramatic - this guy's been a member a long time, I hope people won't start ruining their reputations here for a few hundred bucks... Ricky, try not to post negatives until everything is resolved - for all we know, this guy Rich can be a totally decent guy and it was all a misunderstanding between the two of you. Plus, like you said, don't buy used pads and rotors...
