Front Brake Rotor Size E70 X5 (2008 & 2009)
 

Hi, Could someone from the USA tell me whether your 2008 E70 X5 4.8i has 365mm or 348mm front rotors? ( for upto 10/08 and after 10/08 production)

Here in Australia upto Oct 08 the 4.8i had 365mm front rotors as did the 3.0sd, then after Oct 08 both models went down a size to a 348mm front rotor!

The reason I ask is if the 4.8i had the smaller rotors for all 08 & 09 production in the States then I can buy replacement low dust brake pads from the 2008 4.8i model as my new X35d has now gone back to a 348mm rotor here in Australia?

Common Fellas, there must be someone out there that owns a pre Oct 08 4.8i & a 09 4.8i X5 that can measure there front rotors and tell me whether they have 356mm or 348mm front rotors, anyone?

I believe nothing has changed between the MY07 and MY09 for front rotor size. check here:

Thanks, I did check on there, but got a little confused when I saw " Country Specific Brakes" and was not sure whether that related to the States. Its just that some contries got 365mm front brakes on there 4.8i and others got 348mm.

I was trying to find out if I bought dust free brake pads from the USA for a 4.8i (2008 model) would they be for the 348mm rotors?

I would think they would be for the North American models. So yes.

"So Yes" Does this meant that the States got 348 x 30mm rotors or 365 x 36mm rotors?

It would be great if someone from the States could check there 4.8i X5's as to which rotors they have?

Here's info from BMW document for US:

Thanks, that' the info I needed!:thumbup:
