At this point I would assume I have 1/2 life left on the pads if that. Are there better options at the dealership to upgrade the rotor if they need replaced?

I have a 2012 Sport Touring Package M6

I am sure this thread is a familiar one...

One another note will I get some sort of indicator when the pads needs replaced???
The rotors may have an imbalance to them for some reason. Rust, Flat spots from hard braking sometimes cause by uneven pressure from the 4 pistons. Rotor should be .03mm or more in thickness if they are resurfacing is the first step I would take. While they have the calipers off ask how the Pistons and dust shields look. If the dust shields are melted they can gum up the pistons movement.
