I warped the crap out of mine on the last cruise to IL. and i figured since the next cruise is the 15th I better address that issue. i have slight vibrations at 55mph (thrust arms? but they've recently been replaced) and serious vibration while braking. I was pulling into a friends driveway and the brakes were squeeking so bad from the rotor hitting the pad that i decided action must be taken now! :D Hopefully these will cool down better better to reduce the glazing i had. i'll review them once i get the on the car. they were ~125 shipped w/ the bmwcca discount from bmp design

Lemme know how you like them in the e34 application... I always liked them on customers mercedes... even used them on an SL600 back in the 90s and they were great.

I'm probably going to get the ATEs myself assuming nothing bad comes up.

Have those on my car. Previous owner put them on just before I got it. The shop he went to - a track rat - really liked them. You can feel the grooves for the first few thousand, but they seem to have bedded in nicely since then. Not really a recomendation but hey, havn't done me wrong.

I had them on my car when I bought it. Can't say much for them though seeing how they were warped before I got it.

i just got them bedded tonight. so far they are working awesome. the real test will come tomorrow with during a huge car rally. but it fixed my 55mph shimmy as well so my old rotors must have been totally jacked to make the car shimmy even without braking.

Update* i drove the pants off my car this past weekend on a 78 mile cruise. never had any fade or glazing or warpage or anything of the sort. they seam to actually decrease my stopping distance slightly as well vs stock rotors. I totally recomend these for the money

I've had those rotors on at least 4 different Volvo 240's and loved them.
