Where did you get them installed? Dealership?

Looks Good! Who did the install and does it void your warranty?

BMW UDM · 04-28-2015, 08:42 PM

Thanks. I took advantage of the opportunity and installed them. 35k miles, but 2011 ... outside of warranty.

I've been wanting to do this but because I'm still under warranty I would think the dealer would give me crap.

I'd wait till your warranty runs out or your rotors wear out. Dealer will blame anything they can to aftermarket stuff when they get a change. I had a CEL/Drive train malfunction come on and because I had an axle back remus muffler and one of the vacuum hose were left disconnected, they refused to even diagnose the car unless I had the original muffler installed and have the hoses connected. I've had the muffler for over a year and no CEL. So I doubt it was due to the hose. Luckily, the next day, they CEL was gone; and haven't had it come on since.

Nice, what size are they?

Wow...that's just CRAZY!

I have coverage until 2017 So that's quite a ways from now but with the rims I have you can see alot of the rotor So I really wanted the aesthetic look of the cross drilled/slotted rotors just to flow with the wheels.

What size rotors did you go with.

lsturbointeg · 06-01-2015, 12:51 AM

Don't the rotors come in a standard size? Unless ur going With a big brake kit like Brembo?
