did a car wash after the installation, probably water resistance or stains.

Nice cars...Your car reminded me of my 95 base (I think 1 of 19 of base models that were imported to US). My car was heavily modified with Greddy SMIC, aftermarket radiator, ACT streetlight clutch, and lightweight flywheel, street port with 3mm seals, PowerFC and Commander, Bonez dp, Racing Beat exhaust, SSR GT3 wheels, and Sexy Style bodykit. There were few other mods but it's been over 10 years since I got rid of mine so don't remember them off of the top of my head but it was a head-turner. But being an all aluminum car it had it's nuances- door wouldn't shut properly on the first go, there was gap between center speaker grille, and dash, and plastics that were so light that if you looked 'em wrong they would break.

So the rear is fine? ....If so I'm thinking about doing the X5M/X6M front brakes with the m5 rear

I have to issue with the rear....just the front, but since I replace the new rotors for the front, I haven't has any issue yet, let just cross my fingers.

$3,000 for the complete front and rear kit
+$800 for the brackets from tronik
+$850 new front rotors
+$500 labor
= big bad brake

not worth it....should of just buy the brembo bbk kit at the beginning.

Were you able to resolve the problem?

I end up ordering a brand new pair of front rotor from getbmwparts.com and installed it, I haven't brake it in yet, just about 300 miles of running...but in hard braking you can still feel a little bit of vibration...it's very small amount though.

so i'm guessing is that if you're using a used pair of rotors, it might cost the problem since is wore out...but a brand new rotors is not cheap either, i paid $850.00 shipped for the pairs.

Good luck, make sure you install it right, and you're doing it the right way! installing a brand new set of rotors and you're not installing any spacers.
