OEM Drilled/Slotted rotors? In accessory catalog!

D_o_S · 10-14-2010, 03:19 PM

Hi guys,

just picked up a 3 series accessory catalog from my dealer... and upon close inspection... I just noticed that the E92 LCI that is on the very first page (inside, page 2, not the cover) has drilled/slotted rotors in the rear!

What on earth is this?! Is it orderable anywhere? Anyone know more? I hope you can order them and this isn't just a goof.

Go here:

http://www.bmw.com/com/en/owners/acc...lications.html

Choose the 3 series accessories catalog, flip the page to the red E92 LCI, zoom on it... you can see the holes in the brake disc... Might want to pick up a paper copy for a closer inspection...

Or am I missing something?

I'm not seein it, you must have aweful good eyes - I can barely make out the disc itself behind the wheel spokes

BMW Perf brake kit for 328.

He's right. I see them. I'm sure it's highlighting the BMW Performance Rotors.

No, no no! You're missing it! It clearly says "335i" on the back, + dual exhausts!

Here's a higher resolution link of the same image:

Yes there are drilled & slotted rotors on the back. You can right click on the image and select "Zoom In"

That catalog is photoshoped so don't go by what the car looks like.

Shows the lengths to which BMW PR will go... Why not provide a kit for the 335?

Fwiw, the only viable OEM rotor upgrade is using the two-piece aluminum hat front rotors from the Z4 35is.
