This is true only for floating calipers. All M/B calipers, to my knowledge, are fixed calipers. They are rigidly attached to the steering knuckle. Any runout in the rotor is immediately transferred to the steering knuckle during braking.

I'm not sure about BMW's..........but, I'd suspect that were fixed.
