So I bought myself a set of Zimmermann cross drilled rotors for the front. I'm going to be doing a M3 front brake upgrade soon. However, I was wondering if anyone knew if there are cross drilled rear rotors available for the rear set? I would like to match the rear with the front if possible. I'm not particualr about brands, except I don't want ebay ones.

I'm not 100% sure that it's a simple swap though | | | 04-13-2009, 02:20 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | thats what i was thinking before, to just do the z3 rear rotors but i have no knowledge if that will work or not.

Not sure about the 3.0, M's were much bigger but you're messing with the F/R bias. You may end up going backwards on the freeway, but you'll look fab with the cross drilled rotors. __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 04-13-2009, 03:13 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | yeah, i was looking into that. Do the 318i/is/iC and the 318ti use the same size/type of rear rotors?? b/c i see that the cross drilled rotors are available for the 318i/is/iC. __________________ -Theta Chi- Float like a cadilac, sting like a BIMMER .... my socket is just too thick and won't fit in the hole! damnit!

Guess not. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 04-13-2009, 03:48 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | thats blows. :-/ Harold! where did you get your rear rotors from? __________________ -Theta Chi- Float like a cadilac, sting like a BIMMER .... my socket is just too thick and won't fit in the hole! damnit!

I know the pads are the same. __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
