I agree that if the thickness is close then in my experience the dealerships (non-BMW anyway) won't machine them. I've had them tell me that maybe an independent shop will but they won't.
But honestly how much rotor actually wears during normal use? I expect the pads to wear but significant rotor wear surprises me?

As I said, BMW pads are more abrasive than domestic makes usually are so the rotor wears more. Much of the black dust is iron from the rotor. They wear a decent bit.
Why are you letting the dealer do brakes? They'll rape you. You should be buying aftermarket brand (think Ate, Zimmerman, Bosch, Brembo) rotors/pads and installing them yourself or at worst an Independent shop. Brakes are simple.
