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

Drilled holes help vent heat and gases from the rotor surface, while slots sweep away dust and debris. This combination leads to more consistent braking performance, especially under heavy use, and can help prevent brake fade.

Does this rotor come with a coating?

Yes, this rotor features a black E-coating. This coating helps protect the rotor from rust and corrosion, particularly on the non-friction surfaces, and also gives it a clean, finished look.

Is this rotor a direct replacement for my BMW X5?

Yes, this rotor is designed to be a direct replacement for the rear left rotor on your 2002-2006 BMW X5. It fits right without requiring any modifications.

About this part

Product Details

When it's time to replace the rear brake rotors on your 2002-2006 BMW X5, especially if you're looking for improved performance over stock, consider a drilled and slotted rotor. This specific rotor is for the rear left side of your vehicle. The drilled holes help to vent gases and heat away from the pad surface, while the slots sweep away dust and debris, both contributing to more consistent braking, especially during harder stops.

R1 Concepts builds these rotors with a black E-coating that not only gives them a clean look but also helps protect against rust and corrosion, particularly important for the rotor's surface that contacts the brake pads. This rotor is designed to be a direct replacement for your original equipment, meaning it fits right without modification. The combination of drilling and slotting offers a noticeable improvement in braking feel and performance compared to a standard, plain rotor.
