I'm having 27K miles in my '13 335i with standard (non M Sport) brakes and I'm thinking to swap the pads out with Cool Carbon's Street/Track pads and wondering whether I should resurface the rotors during installation or not. The rotors are totally good, are not shaking at all, but tiny concentric lines can be seen and felt when touched on the surface. Would it affect the breaking performance with the new pads if I left it as is or shall I just get it resurfaced? I'm attaching photos of the front and rear rotors, hopefully the "depth" of the lines can be seen.

If you feel a ridge on on the edge of the rotor, I would recommend replacing them. BMW utilizes performance pads they take rotor material off while braking. If you really want to compare, measure the new rotor thickness and compare it to your used one. Don't skimp out on the brakes.

Just had a brake job done at my local dealer, replaced pads and rotors with stock ones. I was told it's not advisable to replace just the pads. My rotors needed replacing as well because I had deep ridges. If I had just gotten the new pads alone the car wouldn't brake as well. I wasn't gonna skimp on safety and performance.
