turnbull24 n00b Join Date: Nov 2008 Car: Posts: 1 Photos:	Pads vs Pads and Rotors I have a 3 yr lease on a 2007 323i that has about 49,000 km's. The brake light just came on. Will I need to replace pads and rotors? They quoted $800+tax for front and back, pads and rotors. I'm returning the car in a little over a year. Can I get by with just replacing the pads?
