I have some. If you need new rotors you might as well get them. Found a good price at German Parts and Restoration.

Default Zimmermanns around $30 a side and Remsa Gold pads $40 a set

talk to randy at MidTex Audi & Porsche Specialist at 1-888-489-2834, he will hook u up. these rotors and pads kick ***, very little dust even under driving and braking. this is the only guy in the US that can get these pads which come from germany. call him now. tell him bmwslayer sent you, he will cut u a better deal.

Default Squealing

We had a set of zimmermans fitted to a Mercedes in our workshop (as a replacement for the genuine part, not an upgrade) and they made the brekes squeal a lot! Most of you will say its the pads, but no matter what pads we used (textar, ATE etc.) they still squealed. We then put ATE discs on...no squeal!!!
