EBC 13+ BMW X1 3.0 Turbo (35i) USR Slotted Front Rotors

EBC Brakes has built a solid reputation for well-made brake components, and their Ultimax USR slotted rotors are a popular choice for drivers looking for improved stopping performance. These front rotors are specifically designed for vehicles like the 2013-2015 BMW X1 35i, but they also fit a range of other BMW models, including various 3 Series sedans and wagons from the late 2000s and early 2010s. If you're looking to get more out of your braking system, especially during spirited driving or when carrying heavier loads, these rotors offer a notable upgrade over standard plain rotors.

What sets these rotors apart is their Ultimax USR slotted design. The narrow slots are precision machined into the rotor surface, and they serve a few key purposes. They help to sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor, which helps reduce brake fade, especially at higher speeds. This also keeps the pad surface smoother and flatter, leading to more consistent contact and improved longevity for both the pads and the rotors. Because they help dissipate heat more effectively, these rotors help your brakes run cooler, which is crucial for maintaining stopping power when you need it most. They are constructed from high-quality grey iron, made in the UK to exacting standards, and undergo rigorous testing to ensure reliable performance.

When installing these rotors, you'll find they are a vented, front-axle set with 5 bolt holes and measure 348mm in diameter. They are designed to work with FMSI D918 brake pads, which are a common fitment for many performance-oriented BMWs. If you're looking to enhance your vehicle's braking capabilities and are using performance brake pads, these EBC USR slotted rotors are a well-built option that can make a real difference in how your car stops.
