Similarly to brake pads, the brake rotors can be matched to specific driving conditions and intended use. For solely street use the design and characteristics particular to each rotor are not big factors in overall braking performance. For instance, a cross-drilled rotor will not significantly improve braking under street conditions. Improved stopping performance will come mostly from your brake pads. Some rotor designs perform better under racing conditions with racing pads but, generally, all rotor types can be used on the street. For race track use we typically recommend a slotted or blank stock rotor. Any 2-piece floating rotor is superior to anything else and those are our first recommendation when available. For more information on the brake rotors we sell, check out our rotor buying guide.

All of these rotors are manufactured to meet BMW's specs for each vehicle application. Our standard rotors are sourced from original manufacturers for BMW (OEM), performance alternatives, or straight from BMW themselves. In some cases BMW Motorsport and BMW Performance will have their own rotor upgrades. Our Cross-Drilled, Slotted, and Drilled+Slotted rotors are manufacturered by StopTech - a global leader in braking technology and the braking technical partner to the Turner Motorsport racing team.

OEM supplier Zimmerman has filled the gap left by BMW when they decided to stop importing the Euro E46 M3 brake rotors to the US. The Euro rotors are cross-drilled and floating, providing much improved cooling over the stock US brakes and are a direct replacement for the stock US rotors. These Zimmerman floating rotors are made in Germany and are almost identical to the Genuine BMW floating rotors that are no longer available to the US. They share similar drill patterns, floating design, offset, and vaning as the OE BMW parts. Zimmerman has been an OE supplier to a large number of German cars, including Porsche and Mercedes.
These Zimmerman rotors are sold as a pair.

Restore your braking performance with these brand new rotors from SHW Performance!

SHW Performance is the OE provider of brake rotors for multiple European auto manufacturers, including BMW, and is well-known for their exceptionally high quality, both in terms of design and materials.
