I bet this is only because you are paying for the service. Here in the US I've had the dealer change my pads only and tell me that my rotors were "fine," under the BMW provided 4 year maintenance plan.

If you can do it yourself, it's easy, or go find a good independent shop and you'll save yourself a sizable sum.

Pads are by vision, just look at them and see how much you have if it's the same as the thickness of the backing pad you need new ones (your pad sensors will also go off). The rotors have their new specification stamped on the hub. You'll need a caliper to measure the rotor thickness and someone will need to tell us what's allowable.
