Anyone had their E63 brakes done around 32k miles?
Im thinking about buying the car instead of turning it in. I know I need brakes soon. Have 32k miles, car is an '09 p030
I drive moderately, never tracked. Rotors are likely not needed at this point are they?
Any ideas of cost?

my rotors lasted me 117k miles with 4% of life left doing about 95% highway driving. pads lasted 60k each time. order ur pads from parts.com for cheaper OEM pads and sensors. I got my front rotors from Racing brake and love them. I used stock rear rotors. my car is a 2007 e63

You should definitely not need brakes yet. Most people are getting around 70-90k on the stock rotors without track days. You should be able to get 50-60k on the stock pads. The pads aren't really all that expensive, compared to the cost of the rotors - about $250 for front and about half that for the back.
Prepare yourself for the cost of rotor replacement though. Eventually, you will need them and it isn't pretty.
