I didn't think in our cars anyone replaced pads without rotors? I'd heard that's the rule of thumb, and resurfacing them was a no-no.
I'll try to measure the pads and see how many mm's are left.

BMW is two-faced on this issue: If it's on their dime, they will do it without blinking an eye -- they only replace the rotors if they fail to meet minimum thickness and runout specs.
OTOH, if it's on YOUR dime, they will tell you each and every time only to replace pads and rotors in sets...
