A quick summary of a thread I put on the main site...
Found that at 16000km I'd run out of rear brake pads, and scored/beaded the rear rotor (disk). The giveaway was a clunking sound as I used the rear brake caused by a pebble (or metal bead) that was caught in there.
After pricing a new rotor ($534) plus labour plus pads, Procycles at St Peters said to bring it over for a look to see if I could get away just with new pads.
While I could have just used new pads, the Service Manager said they'd replace the rotor under BMW warranty as it was "too rattly".
Hoping to have it done in a day or two.
Others getting this replacement under warranty had been mentioned on the main site.
So if you're on an '05 or later you may get it replaced if you have a problem.
