Do I need to buy two of these rotors?

Yes, this part number is for a single front left rotor. For proper braking balance and performance, you should always replace brake rotors in pairs on the same axle. You will need to order a second rotor for the front right side.

What is the benefit of drilled and slotted rotors over standard blank rotors?

Drilled and slotted rotors help to improve braking performance by dissipating heat more effectively and clearing away brake dust and gases. This can lead to reduced brake fade during heavy use and a more consistent pedal feel.

Does this rotor come with any hardware?

This rotor is sold individually and does not typically include installation hardware like lug nuts or brake pads. It is recommended to inspect your existing hardware and replace any worn components when installing new rotors.

Product Details

When you're looking to improve your BMW 525i's stopping power, especially if you've noticed some fade during hard braking or want a more consistent feel, a set of performance rotors like these from DFC can make a real difference. This is the front left rotor, designed to work with the factory caliper and brake system on your 1989-1995 525i, as well as other compatible BMW models.

These rotors feature a drilled and slotted design. The slots help to sweep away brake dust and gases that can build up between the pad and rotor surface, which helps prevent glazing and maintain a more solid grip. The drilled holes also aid in venting heat, a common cause of brake fade when the brakes are worked hard. This combination means you get a more reliable and responsive pedal feel, especially during spirited driving or when carrying extra weight.

This rotor is a direct replacement for your original part, meaning it fits right without modifications. It's a solid option if you're rebuilding your front brakes or just want an upgrade over standard blank rotors.
