Looking to purchase new slotted and drilled rotors.

Anyone have a good brand of aftermarket slotted and drilled rotors that they recommend. Looking to change out my OEM rotors when I do my brakes. I'd like to get the slotted & drilled type unless somebody recommends another type?

I think the slotted/drilled rotors look incredible on the 1 series. If you're going to switch your rotors, definitely go w/ these. IMO, it's a huge improvement over the stock smooth rotors and changes the look for the better.

The oem BMW slotted/drilled fronts are about $500/pr. at ECS. The oem rears are only dimpled/slotted (not drilled) and they go for about $300/pr. I haven't used any other aftermarket rotors, but I can see why you'd want to go that route. ECS carries their own brand of slotted/drilled rotors, but they only have the rears on their site. But they're half price compared to the oem ones.

Can't wait to see some pix of the new rotors whenever you get around to changing them out.

Here's a close-up of my fronts:

Awesome! Thanks for the info but....yeah, I think I'll go aftermarket because I'm not looking to spend that kind of cash on rotors. I was thinking more like less than $200.00 a pair. Your car looks sweet!! thanks for posting the photos! Can't wait to change mine out!!!!
