Zimmerman Rotors

cougarpoop · 09-02-2014, 08:26 AM

Anyone use the Zimmerman rotors? Thoughts? At almost half the price of OEM they do look attractive.

They should be the same as OEM without "BMW" stamped on them from what I've heard. I'm running them with no problems.

Same manufacturer as the OE rotors. They are good. Many people use them including local shops.

I picked up a set of drilled/slotted rotors from IAP Dura (from eBay) and happy to say that they appear identical to the original BMW parts and the Zimmerman.

Zimmerman's are good as OE replacements!

Zimmerman rotors aren't really known for their "quality". I would prefer ATE rotors over them. But really for brake parts... I would only use original BMW rotors/pads. The aftermarket parts really do not hold up well.

Zimmerman are fine. I have used them a few times with no issues. Unless your tracking the car you will see and feel almost no difference in rotors.
