Nice - are the rear rotors worn past the limits but the pads have meat? Just curious if a brake job was done where they just swapped the pads and kept the rotors. BMW doesn't usually do this, but an indy shop would.

Flex Disk is common for these cars. It is a two hour job, the disk is $200-$300, but the dealer will charge 4 hours labor. May want an indy to do that when ready.

The active grills are warrantied for 15 years or 150k miles. BMW extended it, so if they give you trouble going forward, you are 100% covered at the dealer for these.

Sounds like you are going to be a G30 guy. Congrats.
