Brake discs Zimmermann or OEM BMW

Zimmermann Brake discs

I’ve had Zimmerman rotors and hawk hps 5.0 pads for a few thousand km now. Feels pretty close to stock and my silver prets aren’t caked in dust anymore.

Pros: close to stock, less dust

Zimmermann Brake discs

Just replaced my 2018 SE brakes with the PP Zimmerman and Textar kit from FCP Euro. So far it's pretty much identical to stock. Pads will make the difference when it comes to dust. I do like the Zimmermann blanks, so nice to have non-rusty rotors again

Pros: identical to stock, non-rusty

I use Zimmerman blanks on my track car and have been doing so for years. They work great, will hold up for numerous weekends, and are fairly inexpensive (free replacements from FCP Euro is also a big bonus).

Pros: work great, fairly inexpensive

I'm a big fan of Zimmerman rotors. They're reasonably priced and wear well. Just don't get the 'fancy' drilled/slotted ones.

Pros: reasonably priced, wear well
Cons: drilled/slotted ones bad

I have the zimmermans, and I've heard numerous people tell me they've seen and heard of them cracking under heavy heated use. It kinda worries me a little, but they've been solid so far, and I've yet to really roast them... Honnestly if I were to do it again, I would probably go with the brembos even though they may be a little more expensive. whats more important to stopping, is pads. The difference between the stopping power and feel of different pads varries greatly. I've had some heavy carbon kevlar pads that took a long while to warm up but once they were warm grabbed really well, but they were kinda hard for regular street driving. I've used stock pads which pretty much suck but last forever, and I've used some softer sport street pads that wear and dust a little more, but stop far supperior to oters for regular street driving. I've yet to push them to the point of fade, but we'll see where that goes once I've got the suspension and bleeding sorted

Pros: solid so far, better pads important
Cons: heard they crack under heat, would go with Brembos
