I replaced my rear pads and rotors tonight at 86k miles. The pads are done but the rotors had little wear on them. I bought Centric blank rotors online and the pads from the local BMW dealer. The rotors were harder to get off than the fronts, a bit seized from rust. On all my other cars, I have set the parking brake when doing brake jobs but that is a mistake on this car. Leave the brake off and the rotors will come off easier, once you break them free from the rust that is.
From the time I started pulling tools off the shelf to putting the last tool back on was was two hours, that includes a bathroom and beer break (separate events). A bit longer than previous brake jobs but still not bad and better than paying the shop.
