Anyone got any problems with the front rotors on 35i?

Mine got warped in a little less than one year and less than 20K km. Got replaced them under the warranty.
But the new ones got warped again after a year and 20K km. Dealer refused to replace them again, so I've raised the issue with BMW Canada.

I'm not a racer of any kind, I drive pretty conservative. Never took my car to the track. My pads were good for another 17K km, so rotors live twice less than the pads. In Europe they put larger rotors on 35i, so I believe the rotors for North America cars are just too small.

But BMW thinks they are just fine and proposed, as a "goodwill" to pay for the rotors and I was supposed to pay for the labor.

For me it was not a solution, as I didn't wanted to have that conversation in one year again. So I just went for the MPBK.

But I'm a little bit disappointed in BMW now...
