Make sure you get an alignment and tires balanced by BMW, sometimes that can be the root cause of warped rotors. You probably can re-use all the brake sensors if your brake wear indicator isn't on yet.

You can easily replace the rotors, pads, and bleed the brakes at home. You'll need a hand with bleeding the brakes, but it shouldn't take you more than a couple hours.
Thanks for the detail(!), but my car is still under warranty and its maintenance plan...
