Brake Rotors

Rmedine · 05-01-2020, 07:53 AM

Looking to replace OEM rotors with something better on a 535 xdrive. Any one have any suggestions?

I'm sure there are more of us with the same question. Anyone?

There are quite a few posts on this if you do a search.

too many choices. if you want to stick with OEM than i would go that route and start looking for the best prices

I have R1 Concepts Carbon Geomet Rotors and Pads, very happy with them, customer service was amazing! Very very low dust which is surprising!

Most people don’t even come close to maximizing the potential of the OEM brake system. Don’t fall victim to the marketing BS of cross drilled, slotted, etc. Zimmerman rotors are great OEM replacements and I find that the Textar ePad is an excellent all around pad with low dust and good bite. Just because it’s not OEM doesn’t mean it’ll perform better...lots of inferior products out there that actually diminish braking performance over stock.

I just ordered my set. I didn't want drilled cause I just don't need that. Went with slotted. Everything I've read about these brakes is outstanding. Will follow up once the brakes are on. Been looking for about 3 months. No rush with a shelter in place. So excited.

Update they came!

So pretty. Going in next week.
