Salty roads are the worst possible condition for a vehicle in my opinion.
Those certainly look better than X6 MBN's, but it's amazing that BMW didn't spend an extra $20 or $30 US (cost at manufacturing) for some drilled rotors. We're talking about an $80k car! I suppose they're afraid of the great expense when they have to replace them?
