front disc choice for 3.0 M3

[chippy17]

I should have known judging by the rubbish new tyres that were on the car when I bought it; it had also had new discs put on, literally. Great says I won't have to do those for a long time.

Cut to 6 months later and they are seriously warped.

I know the guys at C3 BMW and they offer Zimmerman brakes which I have been told a good quality. They do standard replacements or cross drilled?

So do I buy BMW OE brakes discs or the above or shall I uprate with something else whilst I am at it?

You should go for OEM Evo discs - the floating variety. If you want to upgrade from there, go to Performance Friction 2 piece discs.

Are they the same dimensions, and a straight swap?

The costs for the floating E36 Evo discs are horrific compared to the standard OEM one piece 3.0 discs. I never had any problems with my standard stoppers on my 3.0, and even did a few track days without too much fading.
