E63 front rotors for E55 update
OK, Like I said before the visual on the E63 rotors looks like a match for the E55 fronts. I can get them for $730 a piece and should have them in hand in a few days. What pads do I get? Anyone know the part #, etc?
Wish me luck, as this is a $1500 gamble as the rotors are NOT returnable after mounting. If they do not work, I am toast. If they do, then I am hoooooked up.

Please update when you have more info.
I am following your brake project closely. I will be replacing my brake soon as well and wanted something better since I will be taking my E55 to the track.

Hey Buddy,
I've got my fingers crossed for you. How goes the options you were looking into?
I will try to get caught up on things here. I snuck my laptop into the recovery room. I hope that the nurses dont get me. LOL :LOL

You take care of POPs!!
Are we still in on this 50/50? Haha!!
The other is fine. read the emails I sent you. The rears threw a wrench at me, and the fronts looks so perfect that I need to try. Also, I assume your people can't beat the price, right?

I am having custome ones made up (if they can). The cost will be $500 per rotor the way I like them. From there, any machine shop will be able to replicate the hat and the cost will drop.
I'm not as worried about the rears for now. I am finding out that there is not going to be quite the weight savings that people have claimed. There is lots to gain in the fronts, but I'm only seeing a potential 5lbs in the rear.

Hey Jangy before you mount them make sure the disc offset from the hats are identical.... I mean 100% not even 1/64" out.

I would say stock pads ... If they dont fit with stock pads then there is a problem. They need to fit the caliper more than worry about the disc - later you can fool around with after market stuff to match the disc characteristics better.
The more I think about this the more I thing evosport is perhaps a better all round swapout - and you get the rears too...
Mbe get teh two side by side and have a look ... The E63 that had 8k miles on that I tested had some serious brake squeal... mbe it was the disc mbe something else... but it was pretty annoying.
