I have searched the forum and can't seem to find a consensus.

1. Zimmerman $187.72 a pair - I have read conflicting accounts on quality. Going to pass.
2. OEM - aside from rusting, the quality is not in question. Front brake kit - 325.59
3. Myle - notably less less expensive. $327.40 ( Akebono pads)
4. Bosch QuietCast

$179 for a kit?

Akebono pads - everyone raves about reduction in dust but stopping power still seems questionable.

Can anyone advise what they've done? I guess I'll just stick with OEM.

Its a braking system which can possibly save your life in some serious situation.
For Zimmerman, i highly doubt their quality is going to be bad, they are the original rotor manufactory for BMW.

If you dont want to get ZM, you can take a look at Brembo (plain), they are coated, no rust, works 100% great.

I currently have EBC yellow + Brembo coated + Stoptech SS

I am doing my brakes soon and was just thinking about this.


I also can't seem to find rear Zimmerman in cross drilled like my stock rotors.


I would like something cross drilled and coated to avoid rust but will take what I can get.

Dont get cross drilled, its a waste of money, higher chance of cracking.
Get slotted

I have cross drilled on there now that came stock with the car. 8 years on, no cracks.
