Possible good deal on rotors?

$353 for a pair of front rotors, supposedly from a dealer (which is local to me actually). What's the catch? Seems too good to be true, esp. when they list other individual rotors at the typical $250-300 price:

Awesome deal! I shopped patiently and carefully for months and paid $425 last fall.

Looks like getbmwparts has a good deal on the rears, too, $202/ea I think and free shipping. So between these two deals you could have a set of 4 for around $800 (I'd be charged tax for the fronts as a CA resident).

Says 2008 to 2012 model year. Are the 2013 different? Also I am guessing the E90 and the E92 use the same rotors.

One more; anyone know the original thickness of the stock rotors?

I am considering new vs. having my rotors cut for the next pad change.

2013 shouldn't be different, nor should E90/2/3.

New thickness is 30.0mm F / 24.0mm R. Minimum is stamped into the rotor but it's -1.4mm from both of those numbers. I didn't think you could "turn" or resurface drilled rotors, but I never understood why.

I bought a pair of the fronts from the link I posted - will post when I get them, although not planning to replace until later.

Try FCP euro. They price match and offer lifetime warranty.

Maybe they ran out of stock? I was able to order at the original price I posted, but that was on a day or two ago.
