Need worn OEM pads

Rotors are shot but dealer won't replace under warranty because the pads aren't worn enough. My pads have about 11mm left. Need to be 3.5 - 4mm minimum. If anyone wants to trade pads, I'm game. Or I'll buy your worn set for a nominal fee. Even better, if you were going to throw them away, I'll pick up and recycle for you. Dallas, TX area preferred. Pads are from a 1M - same as M3.

Thx.

I guess you could use a belt sander.

Would be very messy though.

Are your pads off the car? I'm in Dallas. Mine are still on the car. I would need your pads to make the swap then send you my pads.

Wait what? My dealer didnt replace my rotors when they replaced my pads because they said the rotors were still in spec... I knew something sounded fishy.

Yet when you pay CASH to get the pads changed they 'recommend' very strongly that you change the rotors too, and vice versa. They don't even warranty either part unless they are both changed at the same time over here I'm pretty sure from what I remember when going in there and then never going back for a brake job.
