Anyone want to order BMW OEM Performance Brake Rotors
$407 roughly shipped to your door. Let me know if you are interested, Dan@United is willing to get these our to us via USPS.
I doubt the local suppliers can match that, Andrew@BM can you match/better? Thanks K |

kris, i was keen as mustard on it, but the whole debate about the actual performance benefits of doing this "upgrade" threw me. i did a fair bit of reading on it too. this car is giving me an education!

professor, there is only one 'real' benefit. And that is a weight saving..
Despite what people say, they are no noiser, they don't wear faster and don't really give you much if any of a performance advantage for braking. They are for looks and weight.. $407 to your door ain't a bad price for two I think... I've had cast drilled rotors on my previous car, they were OEM Porsche. Had no worries at all! |

Nothing Sorry I thought your post said "
I sure am tempted given it isn't a lot of money, but would a saving of a few pounds on calipers help? Brain fart! Forget the last 1 minute of your life |

There is unsprung weight and there is unsprung weight. In this case, given where it is, I don't think it will make a massive difference. Wheels on the other hand would be a different story.

I am thinking why bother for me. When I get serious about it, I will put in serious brakes like a big fat AP or something...

Haha I managed to edit it pretty much 10 seconds after I posted it but unfortunately Kris read it in the mean time.
Oh btw Zuzu, had a good look at the 135i convertible today. SGM/grey. Looks really really nice! |
