Vibration & Judder during braking after G37 sat for vacation

Has anyone else experienced vibration in their steering wheel after the car sat for a 8 days? Before I went away I had the rotors surfaced and they were working perfectly fine. I go away and come back and drive the car this morning and the steering wheel and car are getting crazy vibration/judder. I only drove it for about 10 miles today with not much braking to hopefully clear the rust out.... Also, there was a crazy amount of rain and storms while I was gone so I didn't know if that would make it worse. I never had any problems with my BMW like this, so I was just curious to see if this is normal. Any help would be great... Thanks!

Tires used to "flat spot" when parked for a long time, don't know if they still do that though?

Did you check your tire pressures?

Tire pressure is fine, checked it the other day. No flat spots either.

BED in your brakes.

60mph down to 20mph x3
80mph down to 40mph x3

Apply full braking never come to a complete stop. If this fails.....

Try brake clean should be less than $4 per aerosol can at any auto parts....

If this fails remember re-surfacing your rotors will never get rid of the warp. Rather they will remain to re-appear. BEST way is to get slotted or dimpled rotors next time. If in your area rains a lot.

Did anyone have access to your keys while you were gone?
