Agreed on the brake sensor. Only needs replacement if you wear your brakes to the level where the wear sensor is activated. Regular inspection should prevent this.

And with the rotors -- you are correct -- DO NOT turn the rotors on a European car. They should be replaced when you can feel warpage in your braking, or when a visual inspection shows them to be significantly worn/warped, or every couple brake jobs, whichever comes first.
