CHEEEEAP!!

I got them at mates rates for $80. The do retail about double that so im still happy.

[Tak3n]

oh nice thanks for the link. Do let us know how they are...

There is so many brake pad options around.

That is strange how it suits BMW 1 and 3 series. I thought our E82 135i are completly different and that we are running brembos

I can confirm that the 135i is running brembos, I visually confirmed that brembo is labelled on the brake calliper when I replaced the rear rotors and pads.

Whoops, have to clarify my point. on the websit it show the Euro bedix suits most 1 series and 3.. INCLUDING our 135i ..but our calipar are totally different, which makes me think it cant be right.

they suit 135i.. and 3 series *with* the performance brake package which are the 338mm rotors with brembos.

Go to the "Vehicle Application" tab and you'll see entries like:

BMW 135 Series 2008 - 03/10 135i 3.0t [E82][E88] (std 338mm / 324mm) Ours
BMW 323 Series 03/07 - 09/12 323i Sed, Wag. [E90, E91] (BMW Performance 338mm / 324mm)


These are the pads for the non-upgraded 3 series, and other lower grade 1 series:

In addition, bargain hunters looking for new rotors for a street driven 135i.. these Zimmermanns are $239 delivered for the pair. Sure they don't have the alloy hat of the OE and are probably 1kg heavier, but they are also a 3rd of the price.

I bought some Racing Brake 2 piece slotted rotors for my gti. Great looking rotor and nice linear feel. Was very happy with them, but stuffed if im gonna spend $1k on just a front set of rotors for street use again.

[Alpha Trion]

finally my rotors are on their way! will have pics when i get them. will also chuck them on a scale to see if any weight difference.

[Spectral]

The zimmermann all iron rotors weigh 10.85kg
The stock BMW rotor with aluminium hat reportedly weighes 10.21kg
My stock *very worn* BMW rotor was 9.25kg ! It was right on its wear limit.

[Spectral]

just some feedback. The euro+ pads are pretty good. Feel as good as the OEM in street driving, no noise, no dust. So happy enough for my daily driver.

[Alpha Trion]

great to hear.. looking forward to putting it all together... as soon as i have time (hopefully this weekend!)
