What is the benefit of drilled brake rotors?

Drilled rotors have holes that help to vent heat away from the braking surface. They can also help to remove brake dust and gas, which can improve stopping performance, especially under heavy braking conditions.

Does this rotor come with hardware?

This product listing is for the brake rotor only. Any necessary installation hardware, such as lug nuts or brake pads, would need to be purchased separately.

How do I maintain the black E-coating?

The black E-coating is designed to protect the rotor from rust and corrosion. It is applied to the non-friction surfaces and should not be affected by normal brake pad use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the coated areas.

About this part

Product Details

This is a front right drilled brake rotor from R1 Concepts, made to fit your 1987-1995 BMW 540i. If you're looking to replace a worn-out rotor or want a bit more bite for your braking system, this part is designed to get the job done. The drilled holes help to dissipate heat and can also help clear away dust and gas from the braking surface, which can lead to more consistent stopping power, especially during spirited driving.

R1 Concepts uses a black E-coating on this rotor, which helps protect it from rust and corrosion, keeping it looking good and performing well for longer. This coating is applied to the non-friction surfaces, so it won't interfere with how the brake pad contacts the rotor. It's a well-built rotor that offers a noticeable improvement over a standard, plain rotor, especially in how it handles heat buildup during braking.

When installing this rotor, remember to properly bed in your brake pads according to the pad manufacturer's instructions. This process ensures the pad material transfers evenly to the rotor surface, maximizing your braking performance. This rotor is sold individually, so be sure to order two if you need to replace both front rotors.
