I replaced my OEM BMW blank rotors that were done and warped for the blank Zimmermann ones a week ago, but I got them from FCP euro which they had them at a lower price. I have a slow grocery getter 328i so no need to get anything more. I also used Akebono ceramic brake pads.

Pros: lower price, good for daily driving
Vehicle: BMW

Zimmerman rotors with ferrodo ds2500's work for me. Also removed the dust shield and added rs3 ducts. Lately been getting about 2 weekends or ~16 sessions before they get low, but they're solid and wear predictably. Plus fcpeuro sells them.

Pros: solid performance, predictable wear
Cons: short lifespan

What I've discovered is that the design of the OEM rotors are BMW 2-piece brake rotors with iron friction ring with a lightweight aluminum rotor hat. This design , to me, has flaws and is prone to excessive heat and warps rather quickly. I've had the same problem repeatedly. I switched to Zimmerman one-piece cast iron rotors with OEM pads, and I've driven very hard, and it hasn't happened ever again.

Pros: drove very hard, hasn't happened
Cons: prone to excessive heat

I did Zimmerman/Akebono on my e39 about 3000 mikes ago. My only complaint is the bite. It doesn't have that initial braking force the OEM pads had. It still slows the car down without fail, just a different feel.

Pros: reliable braking
Cons: less initial bite
