Probably because someone sells them on ebay so people that were looking already bought them.
I see them listed for $350, not a bad "deal" but they seem to made by some random person with some machine access with little or no product testing in real life.
Mine are TÜV certified which calls for stringent and rigorous testing for German public road use, highest quality name brand steel (Thyssen Krupp) with metal material certification and track tested on the Nürburgring by an actual C63 driver, not sure how you can ask for more than that for an extra $100.

I’m a bit late to the party per usual.
Something about this statement pisses me off, not exactly sure what.
I looked at the offering on eBay, and while it would be nice to know what they are made from, they look perfectly comparable to what you are offering.
However, for any of the bull**** in the above quoted text to matter, these parts need to be accompanied by the supporting documentation, and they also need to be serialized with said serial number on supporting documentation. Is that the case here? Are they used? If they are used, I would want them magnafluxed by a certified nondestructive inspection facility again with supporting documentation and serialization.
Whats to stop me from copying what’s on eBay and saying all the same bull**** about my copies? See where I’m headed with this?
Not that I would. If I were
making these, I’d be making them from 300M, then flash chroming, or CAD plating them for corrosion resistance. (300M is the stuff we make landing gear from.)
That being said, I’m not sure I’d ever make braking components for public sale. There is too much liability around it. Where would we be without insurance companies and lawyers?
Before coming in and trying to stir a **** storm on my thread you should probably read the original ad as it states that they are brand new and never fitted.
They are made from a name brand, Thyssen Krupp steel (S355) used in high-strength applications. They are galvanized and have electropolished to prevent corrosion.
Here is the German material certificate, mind you this is something that most companies will not provide to hide the fact they are using cheap and inferior steel quality. If you are metallurgist, it would benefit you even further to have this information.
Please let me know if you have any other questions
If installed, do these brakes still clear the factory 18" wheels?
Nope, even 19's are tight. If you have aftermarket 2 piece wheels in 19's chances are they wont fit. If monoblock you have literally 2-3MM of clearance.
i have some aluminum 390mm ones i picked up from ebay for anyone who is interested. i was going to install them onto my E63 but upon doing so realized they don't work as the bracket is entirely different for the W211. just pm me if interested.

Any idea on options to upgrade to the 390mm rotors for the w211?
