D'OH! it's ATE not ATF!My mistake then.
You happy with them? Are they the same as the stock ones in appearance, materials (as far as you can tell) etc?

I don't believe it's the discs that are the weak point in the Z4M's braking system. I believe it's the crappy callipers & pads.
Pity that you've got to spend at least £700 for a pair of multi-piston K-Sport callipers (assuming they'll sell them without their own discs) - but £900 doesn't sound terrible for a 356mm 8-pot set-up. Can't vouch for their quality though as I don't know anyone who's bought them, and I stick to AP or Alcon.

I just looked at eurocarparts for discs and was amused to see left and right front disks at £177 & £184 respectively (with different part numbers)
Also EBC disks at £650+ a pair.
Bizare price difference between L & R any reason 'cos I can't think of one!
They also seem much more expensive than I'd have thought almost twice what I paid for discs (£220) on my 350Z!
Also EBC disks at £650+ a pair.

Not saying i want to change from OEM because they dont perform well, i simply want to change them because they're worn.
CA-Automotive say on their website that Stoptech make stock sized replacement disks but when i tried to order a while back they said that they dont even though they're listed.... I emailed Stoptech but they didnt reply back..... This was months ago though.
i asked that and they said its because when they get a new supply in they tend to be more pricy so the ones thay had in stock stay at the same price but new stock is priced accordinglychrissrush said:I just looked at eurocarparts for discs and was amused to see left and right front disks at £177 & £184 respectively (with different part numbers)

bmminiparts are £128+ vat per disc at the moment.

Wow!! They finally made discs for the rear axle? Can we source them in europe?
An update, a Cypriot parts store just got back to me saying that they can get me Stoptech rotors, front and rear for about 500 euro. OEM's from the UK would cost about 780 and OEM's from Cyprus about 1300!
I'm giving the Stoptech's a go although they will take time to get here. Will update when i have them.
edit: rotors should look like this, they'll be grooved not drilled.
