This Zimmermann Z-Coat rotor fits the Front of the F10 535i/535iX and F06-F13 640i/640iX. This part number
fits standard 535i brakes, not the optional High Speed Brakes package. This rotor is 348mm x 30mm (same diameter but 6mm narrower than the High Speed Brakes).
Zimmermann Z-Coat rotors are the same size as stock BMW rotors but include an anti-corrosion phosphate coating that resists rust. Uncoated aftermarket or OEM rotors will quickly rust on the middle hat and inner vanes. Zimmermann Coated rotors are made in Germany and can be found as original equipment on some Mercedes, Porsche, and Volkswagen models.
High Speed Brakes
The F10 535i was offered with a "High Speed Brakes" option (option code S5AEA) which used the stock rotors and calipers from the heavier and faster 550i. Although a rare option, we encourage 535i owners to check their brakes before ordering to ensure the correct parts are supplied. There are two ways to tell if you have the High Speed Brakes option: the front rotors are directionally vented (the cooling vanes sweep towards the rear) and the rear rotors are 345mm (13.58") instead of 330mm (12.99"). If in doubt, you can contact us with your VIN and we can check for you.
Note 1: this Zimmermann rotor is a single-piece cast iron rotor. The factory BMW rotor is a 2-piece iron disc with an aluminum hub. BMW advertised the lighter weight as a way of lowering emissions and improving fuel economy. There is likely no performance difference between them but the Zimmermann will be slightly heavier compared to stock. We also offer the OEM 2-piece rotors if you wish to keep the lighter design (see Related Items below).
