So, probably all of us witnessed BMW's rotors rusting after a couple of days not driving it and storing in a humid place, or in the rain. All this have never posed a problem to me, as it's always been enough to drive (and brake) the car normally for a couple of kms.... Not this time, though - just look at how my rotors corroded: the surface that the pads act upon is already almost clean, but I can't see how the rest of it (particularly at the outside rotor's perimeter) can possible get clean all by itself!!!

As my standard warranty expires in a month time, please advise whether I should push my dealer to - what? Replace the rotors? I somehow don't believe they'd do it; today had my oil service done and when I showed them my rotors, they asked "what kind of stuff I applied when washing the car lately"?

Opinions, please

Piotr

PS. Speaking of rust: the other picture shows my M-package black tailpipes after just 2 years and 25k km...
