Can’t go wrong with Zimmerman blanks and OEM pads.
Pros: reliable
Running Zimmerman rotors with Porterfield R4S pads on mine. Brake dust is considerably less than the stock set up.
Pros: low brake dust
I just replaced all 4 rotors and pads last weekend. Found a good deal on Zimmerman rotors and TRW pads. My little diesel wagon is happy now. :)
Pros: good deal, happy car
i have zimmermann rotors on the rear and they look like new after one year and no rust unlike others in bought before and since then. Will buy them again. Zimmermann is good quality.
Pros: good quality, no rust
I’ve used Zimmerman for years, including beating them to crap at the track. Never any issues.
Pros: reliable, durable, no issues
I replaced my OEM BMW blank rotors that were done and warped for the blank Zimmermann ones a week ago, but I got them from FCP euro which they had them at a lower price. I have a slow grocery getter 328i so no need to get anything more. I also used Akebono ceramic brake pads.
Pros: lower price, good for daily driving

BMW
Zimmerman rotors with ferrodo ds2500's work for me. Also removed the dust shield and added rs3 ducts. Lately been getting about 2 weekends or ~16 sessions before they get low, but they're solid and wear predictably. Plus fcpeuro sells them.
Pros: solid performance, predictable wear
Cons: short lifespan
Zimmermann rotors are made in Germany, while Brembo rotors are made in Italy....... how would they pull that off?
Pros: Zimmermann made in Germany
Cons: Brembo made in Italy
I do not recommend Zimmermann, while they work ok for a lot of people, i had a lot of problems with the rotors.
Cons: many problems
