Right? They do look to be fine in terms of thickness and condition. Hats are rusty which is purely cosmetic.

And you are spenidng the $$$ for OE rotors? IMO metal is metal, but whatever. BMW is getting them from the same place.

YES, OE. Got them from getbmwparts.com, free shipping. price is pretty good.

In terms of 'shimmy'... are the front tension strut (aka lower control arm) bushes original?
