2013 535i M Package Rotors Confusion

Hi I need to change rotors on my car n I'm confused as most places it states I need to choose between standard vs directional front rotors. I assume rear are all the same but front there are 2 choices. How can u find out which rotors I need? Any help is appreciated. Thx

The post from Aaron@Autosource above is for LCI (2014-).

For 535i 2013 (pre LCI) there are three different part numbers:
Brake rotor, light blue, ventilated
34 11 6 775 277
348x30mm
or
Brake rotor light blue, ventilated, left
34 11 6 785 669
348x36mm
and
Brake rotor light blue, ventilated, right
34 11 6 785 670
348x36mm

The easiest way to find out which discs you should use is probably to take some measurements on your existing discs.

The directional front rotors are thicker.

Thx I might just contact BMW dealership n check what part they used when they replaced rotors last time just to be sure. Problem is once I know it's gonna be b*** to figure out if after market ones would fit. I'm not trying go oem due warp issue. I'm in Austin TX so heat really doesn't help it here.

Called BMW parts they said based on Vin it's the one ending in 277 so that means just standard rotors.
