OEM rotors for 1998 M3

I have an E36 convertible so I can't really help you with changes to an
E46, but I will say this...

The prices you are quoting do not seem unusual to me for a BMW dealer.

'98 M3 rotors - can/should they be re-machined?

'98 M3 rotors - can/should they be re-machined?
So I looked at the brakes this weekend.
All the rotors and pads are well above the minimum thickness, and only
