Does anyone know of any 294 x 19 (3.0si size) rear discs available anywhere that are drilled? Not slotted or dimpled please.
This would be to match as best as possible my new bmw drilled front discs pictured.
Or are there any slightly larger sizes that would fit the on the rear with 3.0si carriers and calipers. I’ve had a good Google and checked AUTODOC of course.
I don’t suppose the M rear disc will fit? That’s 328x20.
Cheers

Excellent thank you @markplant
M Tech are good are they?
@Meds do you think yours could be m tech?
You’re on standard 3.0si rear set up?

If you go with MTEC make sure you get the coated versions…the bare ones rust like hell

Hmmm, not sure who makes them. Yes standard 3.0si.
What I do know, mine are crusty AF, look to be really, really old and could do with replacing along with the calipers, purely cosmetic though, as they work perfectly.

So ill be searching for a new set at some point soon and will probably try the Mtech ones if nothing else is available. The way I drive, they'll be reet.
 
Ive heard mixed feedback on Mtec but I have them and never had any issues - agree get the coated ones though.

MTEC buy cheap discs from china and machine and coat them at their factory. I was chatting to a guy who used to deliver the blanks to them.

Thanks everyone, I purchased ATE 294x19 from Autodoc months ago to go on, but they’re not drilled.
I saw meds had drilled rears and it got me thinking they must be available.
But there was nothing on Autodoc I could find.
Not sure if there are any other options if I want drilled to match my fronts?
They have a 10% discount currently so around £80 with the silver protective coating drilled only discs.
Not sure if they charge Postage.

I have used MTEC discs for years on my z4 and SAAB road cars and my track car. They are good value, and I have never experienced any issues with them. As B21 and NS66 have already stated, go for the coated ones.

Thanks, I really try to avoid buying stuff from there but very difficult now a days. Was wondering and hoping they were British.
 
Thanks everyone. I just orderred them, drilled and silver protective coating. 10% off currently and free P&P on discs.
I’ll post pictures when they arrive. 👍🏻

My MTEC drilled discs have arrived safely today and were nicely double boxed.
They are very silver and don’t have many holes. It looks like they use the same hole pattern for drilled & grooved.
They could have put double the holes in to save weight and increase cooling, and importantly match the fronts better.
Slightly disappointed, but will probably keep them and use them in preference to my ATE discs.
Edit, just weighted ATE and MTEC. Both came in at 6.4KG according to my bathroom scales at least!

Zimmerman sells great rotors. Though my opinion on drilled and slotted rotors is like sticking a wing on the back of the car. Does absolutely nothing and they wear faster than normal rotors. Unless you plan to seriously track the car it’s not worth it.

Yeah but they look way cooler, and more premium, for sure.

I found they are also nosier than solid disks. I took mine off and went back to solid.
