Dimpled is fine but I was only worried as they did not match the front rotors which were drilled.

Thanks mate. I plan on doing another photo shoot again soon as my car is almost in its completed stage. I've been waiting on iCarbon to send me their hood but don't think it's going to happen!

This is also what I've come across in my research. Dimpled still dispenses heat and is less prone to cracking but I thought they were non-genuine as they did not match the front rotors and I was under the impression they were drilled.

I was one of the addicts who waited and pressed for the matching rears for looks before ordering the set.

Dimpled rotors are actually comparable in performance to the drilled, I'm just surprised BMW decided to differentiate the aesthetics of the front and rears.
