Z4MR / Z4MC - same rear brake discs right?

Post by Sae » Wed Dec 13, 2017 11:44 am

Just so I am not going mental, the z4mr and z4mc share the same components for rear brake discs? Which also happen to be the same as the M3e46 rear discs too right?

Just checking as a parts compatibility checker for a bmw seller on ebay is showing ok for z4mr but not z4mc - weird... I'm just assuming that this is a typo. Parts codes seem ok - 34212282304 / 34212282303.

They have the exact same rear discs, the eBay compatibility charts are never to be trusted 100%.

£190/£200 for the pair of oem rear discs, theres a few sellers.
I got front discs / all pads / all clips from a balckfriday europarts Deal (see other thread), ecp are doing 50% off again today, however the rear discs arent in stock and havent been available for a while... so resorting to ebay, same as yourself just stocking up on parts while I can use xmas as a buying excuse for fitment early next year ;)

Just because items are not in stock with ECP you can still order them but it would be for delivery only.

Initially it showed no stock, but the last few deal opportunities the product doesnt even list, i.e. it only shows products for front brake discs, doesnt even show the rear discs with out of stock indicator.

£183 from cotswold, £177.76 from Harry Fairburn. I don't know why anyone bothers with ECP for most of this stuff.

Cotswolds is one of the sellers, although strangely enough they wouldnt confirm fitment for z4m, but said thst yhey are aware that some other sources mention compatibility, hrnce the original question.
