yup - as john said, cost is the main factor here - they cost half as much as the M5 rotors. mine are stock, but helped a friend upgrade to the e32 rotors over a year ago. couple o driving schools and no warpage. off the top of my head, the e32 rotor diamater is 2mm larger and they are 2mm thinner than the M5 rotors. cooling air is routed differently than the M5 rotors - which some folks say is better. just make sure to get balo brand rotors. - jeff h

I read in Bimmer Magazine that the E32 750iL front rotor can be used in place of M5 rotors. They said they don't warp as easy and the cool better.

Can anybody verify this or disprove this?

Thanks

Joe
