Anyway, does anyone have a good link to parts I can use? What are OE pads and rotors?


Thanks!

Got part numbers from BMW

Rear Pads: 34216761284 ($106.07)
Rear Rotors: 34126765458 ($92.47)

20% off if purchased by mechanic.

Does anyone know if the below set up will work? Or are they crap.. The price is right when compared to BMW parts from the dealer.

No, just overall thickness.

Go with OE BMW parts. That ebay listing is a joke.

Are BMW OE rotors from Brembo and/or Zimmermann? Almost every part sites are making this claim...any truth to it?

I've never seen that claim. What sites are you referring to?

Sorry...I just read their fine prints more carefully. The actual claim is that Brembo/Zimmermann are OE suppliers to MOST German car manufacturers.

FWIW, I got all 4 Centric rotors with two sensors for $307 including shipping less than a month ago. OEM prices are way high and the bonus of the Centric rotors is that they have black painted hats so you won't get the rust that is inevitable with the OEM rotors. They are an excellent quality part and probably better than OEM. PM me if you want the place I got them from.
