It's a 124.092 - aka wagon, and stock vented rear rotors. Only class of W124 with rear vented (well say for the W124.036). I understand and recognize about turning them but it's just to isolate the problem. It was actually a suggestion by the service manager at the MB dealer. Obvisously they don't turn them at the dealer so I'll have to take them to a service shop.

Edit: To clarify, the idea here is to turn the old rotors, remount and see if the vibration goes away. If it does, replace with OE. If not keep them on there as no harm is done (as long as I'm not below min spec). The rear rotors are more expensive than my front rotors, both OE. Go figure.
