rotor thickness. The minimum may actually be stamped on the edge of the rotor. FWIW, since the tech didn't like being questioned I'd wonder about his honesty.
50K miles might seem a little early for rotors, but if she does a lot of city or stop and go it might not be unreasonable.
I don't know about Bimmers, but many cars have "throw-away rotors" that are really not meant to be turned. If you turn them there may not be enough metal left to do the job. I have often done rotors when I do pads...it's maybe $100 more, but you get new brakes out of the deal.
