Do look like good prices. Can’t see that they do 335 front rotors though

A friend of mine put a set of the grooved and coated versions on his 535D, the disks themselves are fine and he is happy with them however, they are powder coated and when running them in he had awful sticky crap all over the pads and calipers from the paint....

Alternatively, the Zimmermann disks I got at the same time for pretty much the same price as my mates Mtec disks have fared much better with regards to the coating..

It's worth waiting til they have the 18-20% discount, makes a nice difference, it comes around fairly often.

I went drilled up front with plain disks on the rear with ATE pads all round, at the time it came to about £320 whereas my mate paid about the same and got those crappy Mintex pads (don't touch them, they are cheap for a reason).....

Thanks sirlee

Too late, I bought the disks before I read your reply

Good news though, is that I got the plain ones not black, so I won't get the sticky mess hopefully. Haven't ordered pads yet, so I'll take your advice on board there

i've just got Pagid discs and pads to go on all round, new paid pads and retaining clips, and a sensor for the rear, good to hear the coating is good.

i took off the OEM pads and they say BMW TEXSTAR on them...
