There are a number of good BMW boards, among them bimmerforums.com It's not impossible that a 530 needs new pads & rotors at 50,000 miles - many cars do, the 5-series is pretty heavy, and if it's an anutomatic and driven a lot in traffic/city, 50,000 miles is not an unreasonable lifespan. However, if she is buying tires from a 'tire guy' (I'm thinking NTB or something), I'd definitely wait and bring the car to a knowledgeable BMW mechanic. I'm guessing it's out of warranty, so she's not bringing it to the dealer (who will charge an arm and a leg for this job). The guy's attitude sounds to me like he's just trying to pressure her into doing the job now, which in itself is reason enough to me not to have him do the job. Where are you located? I'm sure the BMW club will have plenty of recommended independent specialists in every area bmwcca.org
good luck!
