OEM E46 drilled rotors

M3PiNoYdRiVeR · #1 (**permalink**) 03-30-2002, 11:48 PM

My light just turned on so I need to get new brakes. Can I get the Euro OEM drilled rotors from the dealership or do I have to buy them somewhere else?

Light indicates your pads are worn out and it does not necessarily mean you need to replace your rotors. Have the stealer check thickness of your rotors.

that's sound like a good excuse to upgrade the brake...

your discs probably don't need to be replaced, I had oem break discs
in my car for 35K miles... the dealer only regrind them for me...
