Are you sure you're supposed to have vented rotors? What's the production date of your car? I think they didn't change to vented to until after 4/98. I would expect you'd be having lots of other problems if they'd put solid rotors on there instead of vented. The solid rotors are significantly thinner than the vented ones (12mm vs. 22mm). I'm of the same mind as Dave. I would make sure they used OEM rotors and good quality pads. The only time I've ever had a problem like this on my ti it was caused by the pads I was using. They had left deposits on the rotors and the vibrations eventually got bad enough that it tore up the outer ball joints. I don't know if they still have any, but Bimmerworld had a killer deal on the solid rotors for the ti about a year ago. They were something like $20 each.
