They are slightly larger than OEM. When installed, the braking system must be recalibrated at a dealer to account for the new diameter.

Part numbers below for M135i [same setup as M235i] dimpled/slotted MP rotors with OEM blue calipers ie 340mm dia front and 345mm

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...49&hg=34&fg=07

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...70&hg=34&fg=12

Not sure if they give any advantages apart for perhaps aesthetics though?

They are drilled but not completely through . They specifically state cross drilled rotors in another section. Nothing for the M235i though

I just emailed dba in regards to these

Much prefer the look of these over stoptechs.

I would love a set for the 2

Has anybody here found any aftermarket "bolt on" rotors on the 2 (other than the dimpled and slotted m performance rotors)? Specifically drilled, cross drilled, or slotted...

Just heard back from DBA,

"Currently we dont offer rotors for that particular model.* We may in the future, but at this point in time we arent offering anything.
Sorry I dont have better news"

We don't get the dimpled rotors as standard in Australia. I don't have them and have never seen one with them either.

Hey dtcoff, Are you sure? I took this photo in St Ives a few weeks ago and these rotors look like they have dimples
I might be wrong though...might have to drive past my dealer asap :-)

Yep, absolutely sure. You better check with your dealer if you are expecting them on your car.

here is the same car but a close up of the brakes, maybe this guy upgraded his rotors from M Sport to the M Performance rotors. Not getting my hopes up that they will be on my new car, but it would be nice
