Hey guys

Looking for a bit of advice. Had my M5 into Douglas park bmw in Glasgow a few days ago. Explained to them that when I was braking I could feel a vibration coming through the steering wheel they took the car on a road test and advised that they couldn't find any fault.I then asked if this could be checked again as I was 100% sure there was a fault.

Bmw have now advised me that my car has warped brake discs as well as this they are also starting to crack around were the small drilled holes are. (bmw have not however mentioned anything about them being cracked i have had second opinion and was told then)

My car is around a year and a half old now with only just 12500 miles on it has never been tracked always road driving only. Brakes pads I could expect to replace but the fact my discs are cracking is weird to me.

Bmw have said to replace the disc with new pads will cost me near £2000 which I think is shocking tbh.

Looking for a bit of advice from people to see if they think this would fall under a warranty claim as brake discs cracking in my opinion is ridiculous for this type of car considering it doesn't get driving hard.

Any advise on this would be great thanks.

sorry should of said there price to replace did include new pads aswell but as said on this the price is still a joke and they certinaly wont be doing any work to the car at that price.

after speaking to a few other mechanics they advised that the best way would be for me to try and claim them on warranty because they are starting to crack.

think i am most likely going to have to go to bmw direct becuase after speaking to my local dealer dont think ill be getting anywhere with them.

The discs bmw have said me are really and I have hand another mechanic check these as well who is a friend just to make sure and he is saying the same thing. But he is saying they should be changed under warranty due to how new and low Milage the car is.
