Cheap rotors @ Bimmerworld

pdxmotorhead · 11-10-2009, 08:16 AM

I just noticed that bimmerworld has stock solid TI front rotors for 20 bucks.

I may buy a set just because!

Yup, they're good rotors too. I've had those on my car since last January.

Wow - I went ahead and ordered a pair.

Thanks for the heads up!

These rotors were first mentioned a year ago.

If you call, mention you read about them here.

I just bought a set. $33 and change shipped! I thought about getting 2 sets, but I have a feeling I'll be upgrading to a 32X setup for track days before I'd need the second set.

Thanks for posting this!

who needs some boring stock rotors? I just saw an ad in the back of Autoweek, Bimmerworld is selling their E90 328i race cars

They are very good rotors for not being vented and they stop very fast and straight.

Greetings... I'm new to the site,but have been a lurker for a few weeks. I have had my TI for almost two years. It's white with black and grey interior also an M pkg. super clean,almost have to write it twice very well cared for car. All new struts,Hancook tires new radiator tinted windows even a new exhaust system. It had one owner a young girl using it for college,the man that maintained it (German Repair Shop I had done bus. with) bought for an economy car to buzz to their river home. It has been a blast to drive,but here is the reason for my post. It needed brakes,so after a bit of research I found a company in California called speednet motorsports in Garden Grove ( I think ) can confirm . Slotted,drilled rotors all four and pads,two sensors $214.00 out the door ! They are cool. Admittadly,a bit of noise, kinda swish-swish sound when braking. A bit less dust. With drilling I have noticed a slight vibration that didnt seem to exsist before. Oh and the back ones where a bit tricky to get in as the tollerances where tight. I will post some pics,soon.

You should really should have posted this in a new thread since this is about the solid rotors beings sold by Bimmerworld.

Drilled and slotted are great for looks. Do little for braking.
If the holes are drilled rather than cast, I'd get rid of them or keep a close eye for cracks.

And welcome.

pdxmotorhead · 11-27-2009, 06:25 PM

Drilled and slotted rotors reduce braking power at street speeds, they are only effective with out gassing pads like Hawk Blue or Blacks, Performance Friction, Carbotech etc. at track temperature. With the slots and holes your actually reducing the friction area for your pads to grip. They do not help cooling. Even at the track you really only need one or the other and the slots do all that's needed.

Oh well...
