Min thickness of front & rear rotors for E82 135i?

Hi,

Would like to know what is the min thickness (mm) for the front and rear rotors for the E82 135i.

I don't' have the facilities remove the wheels to check the printing on the hats.

Thanks.

The min thickness for the rotors is stamped right on the hub section of the rotors. FYI

I know, just couldn't be bothered to remove the wheel to see it.

Also because then I'll have to make a 30min drive to the workshop to retorque back the wheel lugs.

Totally laziness on my part.

Bollocks, my fronts are on 23.3mm. BMW's service center's goons had a look the other day, commented it's still good for another 6mths.

I'm sure they are safe to drive one for another 6 months if you wanted to. But they may warp if you are getting a ton of heat into them. If I were talking to you as a service professional I would say to replace them, if it were my car (DD not a race car) and I wanted to wait a bit I would probably roll the dice.

Thanks for this!
Probably doing rear pads this weekend (2mm left, according to a shop.)
Need to check on replacing rotors.
