The only feel I know is different with the car is the distance to get her to stop ........ much improved.

toadhollow,

How hard was it to install the rotors? I have done my pads but never the rotors on an E92. Probably the same as my old E46.

Not anymore difficult than removing the wheel really. More time would be spent in the rr of the brake pads.

Once you remove the wheel you'll have two 18mm bolts holding the calipers to remove and one 6mm hex to remove from the face of the rotor to remove. Then it's just taking the rotor off and placing the new one in it's place.

Maybe 10 minutes tops per wheel depending on the alcohol consumption taking place ........

By the way, after you've replaced the rotors and are ready to take the car for a quick "seating" drive beware there will be LOTS OF LOUD NOISES coming from the brakes. Mine are zinc coated and until the zinc wore off the noice was deafening. Takes just a few stops for the zinc coating to wear off ....... no worries.

so do aftermarket companies sell OEM spec rotors and calipers?

I am very interested in replacing my rotors but would also like to replace the dull aftermarket calipers.

Rotora sells a caliper kit that fits oem rotor size (335). Comes with the appropriate carrier.

We need a list of available rotors for the 325/328/330/335. Preferably with weights.

You should be fine with these rotors (Cqeunce rotors). I was running R1concepts rotors with Axxis pads... The stopping was on par with the OEM minus the dust. Personally I prefer Cqeuence and thats what I will be ordering next.
