Brake discs Centric or OEM BMW

I buy Centric from Rock Auto. Then I have my local shop install them. Labor is $165 for an "axle" (so $330 front and back) and rotors/pads cost me about $125 a pair or $250 for all four.

I did centric rotors and akebono pads up front. Works fine.

If you aren't going to track or AX the car, just get Centric blank rotors and OE pads.

I just ordered pads, rotors and sensors for my 16 M235i. Cost out the door was $1000 for BMW OEM parts. Rotors are each unless it's bought in a kit. ($177 each) Rotors are likely smaller on the rear wheels.

I did the $520 option. Easy to use, a nice surprise to see you picked those Vs something generic.

I've installed drilled and slotted rotors on my pickup, BMW X5, and just ordered a set for my BMW Z3. I live in the mountains, drive spirited, and definitely have improved braking performance with them. Make sure you bed the pads in correctly.

I go with Centric premium rotors and Stoptech pads and I like the setup, Centric makes the rotor blanks for Stoptech big brake kits, I got turned on to them when I had my E46 M3 and that was the recommended setup for daily/hpde/autox use.

Centric blanks and pick a pad you like.

Doesn’t really matter. But you’re better bet is slotted or blank. Drilled can crack under track day use. But that’s not really a problem for quality rotors. On our auto X Vett we used centric 120 smooth rotors.

It looks like you got the C-tek ones, which don't have any protective coating on the non-wear surfaces, which is why you see the rust.
