If you want to drive to Brookeville (near Olney) you can borrow mine.

just feel it w/ your hands... if you feel a bit of a lip, it's ok.
if you feel it and it's a little 'bigg-ish', you've got two more weekends if it's surprising how big the lip is, time for new rotors.

i figure there *has to* be a way to spread the pads some to clear the lip... not sure how the beemer calipers are but on the ones that came w/ my car, worse case scenario would be to remove the pad retaining pin and then pull off the caliper itself while the pads 'stay' on the rotor...

calipers should be available at Lowes or home depot and sears, i know they have them at my store. possibly could put a washer on each face of the rotor to get over the lip, use the caliper to measure thickness, subtract the thicknesses of the 2 washers for the thickness of the rotor. depends on how accurate you are trying to get.

Check the flea markets - I bought a really nice vernier caliper at the flea market at the Shady Groove Metro station a couple years ago for pennies.

I can loan you mine if you're not near those places in VA (I'm in Potomac).

You can grind the inside face on a $20 HF verner type caliper removing about 1/8th from each face except for the last 1/8th inch near the tips. Instant cheap caliper mike and faster than a standard mike
