I ended up ordering stock rotors for the rear and sending them to R1 to be drilled. Contact at R1 is Andre at **************.

Because the brake parts on the F10 get so rusted, I ended up getting new backing plates for each corner and got them powder coated black. I also ordered red caliper paint from R1 and painted the calipers. Here are the latest pics....

Looks nice...very clean work. So R1 ended up selling you their drilled front rotors and then also rear rotors you provided which they then drilled themselves are returned to you? Hmm...PM me a total of parts and costs cause the only other option out there seems to be Bembro's BBK which while it does the job seems like overkill IMHO for the cost involved.

Looking good! I'm getting the caliper paint in red too... and I am going to send my rotors to get slotted soon... Any reason why you got cross-drilled over slotted? Just wondering...

So getting slotted will be just as good... the only problem i have with cross-drilled is they are more prone to cracking... but I have to say slotted & cross-drilled look the best!
