Hi Folks,

a BMT 330ci is in the workshop - they called and want to replace the
brake discs after less than 10000km. It is about 18 months old.

The car has been used occasionally within the city for short rides.
Waiting for days for the next usage, it is clear that the discs start
to corrode after some days. But can this mean that you have to replace
them that early ?!

I guess this is not a BMW-specific topic - except if they used the
wrong material...

Any technical hints are welcome - thanks in advance!
Klaus.

Just say NO. You'd have to live on top of a mountain to wear the brakes out
in this mileage.
Perhaps they could explain further why they feel the discs need replacing.
Light surface corrosion does not accelerate disc wear.
