Rotor upgrade

Hi guys. I have a 328 m sport. Are there direct replacements for my stock rotors to slotted/ dimpled.


Even better can I put larger rotors without the need to change my calipers.

Anyone tried these or heard of them. I am from Australia so not very familiar with US performance shops

Nope i only tried replacing my 370mm discs and rear ones to Mperf which are slotted+dimpled
btw i have Msport blue brakes.
it directly fits but the rotors are noisy.

edit:

noticed difference in brake fade and weight reduction like 3kg in both front axles

Problem I have is that I got the 328i m sport. That gives me the 330mm rotors. I don't think that website has those sizes.

Thanks mate. They seemed reasonably priced as well

So do have an m sport with the 330mm x 24mm front rotors.

how does it feel compared to stock ones. Did u have to code them like the BBK

you got any pictures of what they look like on the car

No i didn't code anything, the feeling is better than cheesy stock, more rigid better stopping power but don't expect it as an upgrade maybe it's same as stock as 4 piston with oem pads

of course I had some pictures I'll upload when i can

I ordered these exact brakes front and rear from Turner motorsport. It is a direct replacement of the stock ones with grey calipers and made by stoptech. They aren't noisy at all and just looks much better than the stock ones.I recommend upgrading pads as well

Did purchase rotors and pads from this company (Brake Performance) before (1st 335i), and intend to do the same again when my brake needs replacement.
Perfect fit, and no worry great quality replacements.

Did try a local source this spring, and they got the order completely wrong.
Since you're planning on an oversea order, you surely want it right the 1st time around.

How long have you had those on (miles)? Have you experienced any issues with them? Did you order the slotted / drilled / dimpled? Any difference in braking performance compared to stock?

No. I put the rotors on the balance and the difference is more or less 0,5kg, not more. It was a typo error in the documents: 3kg due only to slots and dimples are simply impossible to obtain, considering that rotors have the same dimensions (370mm front, 345mm rear) and are of the same material

The advantages of M performance rotors is brake fade, performance with rain and, most of all, improved bite and reactivity as you code the ECU to "sport brake" (SPBK option: not all dealers remembers or are aknowledged that they have to code after installing M Perf brakes ).

Had them for 2 yrs.

At that time, ordered the dimpled/slotted, with regular brake pads at that time (only regret, pads were very noisy and dusted even more than the previous BMW were).

Next order due soon will be cross drilled/slotted with premium pads.
Will keep you guys in touch.

Let us know how it goes.

I don't think I would order pads from them, would go with something like Cool Carbon instead, but the rotors look like a good option.

You can try them on, and if they don't work as you like, you get others.

Then, when ready to sell the car, brand new pads !
