Use either BMWPartsDirect or GetBMWParts website, buy genuine BMW parts and find a good mechanic in your area (maybe even mobile mechanic who would come to you and replace rotors and pads). In LA I paid $180 for the labor to replace front rotors and pads on my X5, for example.

I’m seeing some very small cracks on the cross-drilled holes. At what point does this become concerning? These are the front rotors on a new G82 M4 comp after about 6 track days using Pagid R29 Yellow pads which I’ve used before with no issues. My preference is to keep the stock rotors rather than switching to non cross drilled rotors

Pros: no issues with previous pads
Cons: small cracks on rotors

For example on my 4 series if you took it to a dealership to have the front disks and pads done you are looking at over £900.

Cons: dealerships get very expensive

Those BMW CSL drilled rotors suck. They came\nstock on my e85 M & they cause horrible pedal pulsation. I did a very deep dive on this after multiple sets & replacing multiple parts & checking everything 20x.\n\nThe bottom line is, those rotors are very susceptible to unlocking thickness variation or warped rotors secondary to water getting in the holes & corrosion forming around them.

Cons: horrible pedal pulsation, rotors susceptible to warping

If that's a factory BMW floating rotor keep a very close eye on that. Have seen more than one of those come apart (crack gets to edge, ring breaks away from hat), locks a wheel and full sends you in that direction towards the barriers.... Good buddy totaled his z4m and did like 6-7k of armco damage when that happened

Pros: close eye on factory rotors
Cons: rotors can break apart

You need the Msport brakes unless you want new rotors every 5,000 miles. Have a 540i that didn’t come with them and was a nightmare until I upgraded.

Cons: new rotors every 5000
