Haven't been loving my E39 lately

Neglected a shimmy under braking due to a warped rotor (never buy Stoptech slotted rotors again!). Had the rotors turned after the initial shimmy and it was fine for maybe a few days, then shimmy under braking was back. I knew the rotors had to be replaced but have been too busy to do it. Don't know how many miles I drove like that, but I may have damaged four winter tires and probably accelerated the bearing wear. Bearings probably needed to be replaced soon anyhow as they are probably the original with 115,000 miles.

So tonight Pelican got a $550 order for new front bearings, bolts and rotors. Oh well...it's been a free car for a while now so $550 bucks ain't bad.
