Warped Rotors?!

Hey guys. Thought I'd write a little update. I recently developed a bad vibration under braking that was transmitted into the steering wheel. I've only got 3700 miles on my car thus far. The problem first started out as a very mild vibration at about 75mph. I thought perhaps the balance was off. We had the wheels rebalanced and road forced, and the vibration got much better, but then when I paid a bit more attention I noticed the vibration was occuring under braking between 65-75mph. Took it over to local BMW dealership today and shop foreman came with me for ride. Vibration reproduced, roaring sound from the rotors also heard. After the test ride with shop foreman, new rotors now on order.....before you guys ask, the car has never been tracked!!! I think the weight of these cars is playing some role in rotors warping prematurely. Anyone else had this experience yet?!
