The stock, solid, non drilled front rotors were 300mm x 24mm.
The BMW Performance rotors are fully floating, ventilated, cross drilled and slotted and are 340mm x 26mm, offering quite an upgrade to stock rotors.
The calipers are massive 6 pot Brembo units which have almost 80% more contact area than OEM, and the racing backing plates feature forced airflow cooling. All in all, I'm thrilled with the brakes and how responsive they are, fade resistant and very easy to modulate (even when heel and towing. The BMW aluminium race pedals really contribute to the brake feel and feedback.

You drive an e92 335i right? How did you fit the BMW performance brakes (which were designed for the f30 335i i believe) onto the e90? I am very interested in hearing if that installation is possible.
I always heard that the new BMW performance brakes didn't fit the e90.
