Wow, looks very nice. People sometimes underestimate the look of a good set of rotors.

Performance wise, I would be surprised to see a real difference. MAYBE a tenth or two on a racetrack, due to the lower weight (and it the big difference is in the hat, then the effect of the weight reduction isnt as much as if the whole rotor were significantly lighter). I have had crossdrilled/slotted rotors on my two recent cars, and didnt notice any difference on the street. I had slotted on a car a few years back, and actually noticed increased pad wear. Now, I only had the car long enough for 3 pad changes (stolen), but it seemed to go by faster after the rotors. Really, only made a difference of like $10/year. Not a big deal. I did get the chance to track both cars, and neither had that much of a problem with brake fade due to glazing, which slotting is supposed to prevent. At time of the track events, one car had slotted rotors, one had normal flat boring rotors.

Just thought I would throw in my 2 cents. Again, looks really good though. If just the for appearance, a very worthwhile investment. If you notice a performance increase, kudos to you.

Just reporting in:

I now have over 1200 miles on the rotors and I have zero squeal etc. They work great and look great.

ChrisK · 07-02-2008, 04:57 PM

Here are some pictures of my rotors after 1200 miles. Unless you are up close, you can't see any of the surface rust.

you are abusing them:biggrin: :roundel:

MastaMind · 07-03-2008, 06:03 AM

Thanks for the update, Chris. I would have these on my car already if they wouldn't have doubled in price

I decided to use that money towards the Dinan flash. I'll pick these up when the rears are available as well.

ChrisK · 07-03-2008, 07:59 AM

The price increase does suc*. I am still waiting to here about the rears. :iono:

pheller · 07-03-2008, 08:18 AM

Yeah, I'll pre-purchase these for the car I ED in september and won't have stateside until late October --- as soon as there is rear rotor availability....

ChrisK · 07-21-2008, 12:21 PM

Check in the sales forum, but I believe they doubled in price.

I-One-Da? · 07-21-2008, 01:02 PM

I just picked up my 135 this last Saturday and I had these rotors put on. They look great!

They ran me $308 installed.

HPADDICT · 07-24-2008, 01:27 PM

Any chance of them going cheaper then the $149? I may just have to order these. I wish they would put the coating on them that keeps the rust out of the drill holes/slots. They usually come black but the first time you brake it takes it off of everything but the slots/drill holes.

ScottyGams · 07-24-2008, 01:54 PM

I will order these as soon as some rears come out. i cannot have my car look front heavy on the performance mods

Cheaper? This is VERY cheap for an oem part!

AlBel1214 · 11-06-2008, 10:28 AM

Does anyone know when and if they are going to make these???

I want the front ones but really would like them to match all around...

+1 was gonna do the rotors but front only that was a big disappointment, hope BMW releases the rear soon to make a little more sense

AlBel1214 · 11-19-2008, 10:09 PM

If BMW doesn't sell these anyone know of any aftermarket back rotors that would fit???
