It depends on rotor thickness versus the BMW minimum spec; below-spec rotors require pads and rotors together.

If rotors measure within spec and surfaces are even, pads-only may be appropriate; if they are thin, heat-checked, or uneven, both components should be replaced. We document measurements so you can make an informed decision for your 2012 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo.
