M635csi front brake discs / rotors

Post by ChrisLawrence1 »

Hi guys. Long shot but hoping someone can point me towards a new pair of quality brand front discs / rotors for my car. BMW haven't had any in stock for a long time and no estimated stock date is listed so I guess that might be a long time. I've rebuilt the front suspension and can't get her back on the road without new discs (and pads). I've tried everywhere online that I can think of :(

I'm in the UK.

Thanks vm, Chris

Not specifically on topic, but what is the M-register documentation you reference? I did a search and came across an incomplete article that I believe is the one you're referencing. Is the M-register a long-lost website?

I don't need brake rotors right now, but I have noticed the lack of vented rotors (front) when casually looking at some vendor's sites.

Thanks

Quick search at Rock Auto shows some available from Rabestos. I believe they are the correct ones. Not sure if they ship internationally.

That's great. I take it the M Register Newsletter is no longer published?

Thanks

For my '84 M635, I bought front rotors from Brake Performance (this was last summer) another recommended vendor is BrakeKinetic:
