Ive always heard just the opposite that you shouldnt change pads and rotors at the same time according to Bimmerhaus and other people.
This is directly from their website:
Is it OK to install new rotors AND new pads at the same time?
Our experience has shown us that it's best to not install new pads and new rotors at the same time. Whenever possible use seasoned rotors with new pads or used pads in good condition to season new rotors. Also, it's best to avoid extremely hard braking during a rotor's initial break-in session. If you take the time to break in new rotors or pads properly they will last longer and perform better.
