with only 500 miles on the clock it looks like my m5 will need an unexpected service visit... one of the front brake pads was seriously frozen to the rotor (washed the car and it sat for a week, apparently not a good idea!) and something bad seems to have happened when it 'broke' free as braking power is way down (lots of pedal travel) and there's a significant clunking noise coming from the front driver side wheel area. I definitely wouldn't drive it like this so will need to have it flat bedded to a dealership. Hopefully it just needs a new inner brake pad (the outside one looks fine).

The problem is I haven't had very good experiences with my local dealership. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm in Weybridge, fwiw. Thanks!
