Front Brakes

[newguy]

The man tells me I need new front pads...says that rotors are ok..maybe a turn to "clean them up", because I don't want any "wobblers" thru the steering wheel..Whats the experience on ceramic pads? The car is driven daily, and the brakes don't get pounded..(well not too much he he he ). I really would appreciate your thoughts. The whole system is dead stock right now....

You should not turn BMW rotors they are inexpensive and easily replaced. If your mechanic is suggesting turning the rotors he must not be an experienced BMW mechanic. Ceramic pads are overkill if your just using it as a daily driver. Try some Pigad pads, inexpensive and lower dust than most.
