Well driving home today lots of gravel on the autobahn from construction. Get to the gate at the base and a beater BMW in front of me and I hear grinding and squealing. I turn the radio down and pull toward the gate guard and realize it my car not the car in front of me.
Drive the mile up the road to the house. The right rear rotor has a light grove all around it.

1.What happened?
2. Rock got stuck in the pad?
3. Should I take it to the dealer or just get some aftermarket pads and call it the day?

Car has 6700 miles(4 laps on the nurburgring)
Gonna pull the other rear tire and brakes apart after dinner to see what they look like. Heading back the US in morning so now time to fix it right now.

Top pad is from the outside
