I’m in the Bay Area. 2024
X5 40i. All the 4 are rusted - worst on the right side, Any idea how I can get it fixed. Is this even fixable?

Normal. That will occur when the rotors get wet.

This is normal! They come off when apply your brakes.

If you are not willing to drive it and let the pads friction clean the rust, you can have a car breaks shop turn the rotors until shiny.
