BMW E46 Front Plain Brake Rotors V5 - Set (325x28) from Turner Motorsport are precision-manufactured with a GeoSpec® corrosion-resistant coating. These 5th generation rotors are engineered for high performance and offer superior braking capabilities for BMW E46 models.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: GeoSpec® silver coating provides enhanced protection against rust and corrosion, outperforming traditional painted or zinc-coated rotors.
• No Pre-Installation Cleaning: The coating eliminates the need for cleaning or scuffing before installation, making brake service quicker and more convenient.
• Optimal Braking Performance: Advanced machining and finishing ensure balanced rotors with minimal vibration, delivering a smooth and consistent braking experience.
• High-Quality Construction: Made from durable materials designed to withstand the demands of both daily driving and high-performance use.
• Reliable and Affordable: Ideal for drivers seeking a dependable and cost-effective brake rotor solution.

These 2-piece floating rotors help dissipate heat better than a standard cast iron rotor and are also lighter for less unsprung weight. Managing heat in the brake system is vital to braking performance, especially on the track or when driven hard. It's why your brake rotors have internal vanes that vent heat as the rotor spins. These 2-piece ECS rotors feature an outer cast iron friction surface ring that is separate from the aluminum center hat. This allows better airflow through the vanes and for the friction ring can expand as it gets hot. The rotors are also cross-drilled for better ventilation and slotted to improve brake pad performance.

ECS 2-Piece Rotors feature:

• Aluminum hats for light weight
• Heat-treated cast iron friction rings
• 2-piece assembly improves brake cooling
• Anti-corrosion coating on non-friction surfaces and hard anodizing on rotor hat

These are the same size as the stock rotors so your stock caliper and mounting bracket will fit and there will be no clearance issues with your wheels or to other components. Stainless steel rotor retaining screws are included. You can use these with any brake pad.

Price is for the pair of brake rotors.
