I’ve had Zimmerman rotors and hawk hps 5.0 pads for a few thousand km now. Feels pretty close to stock and my silver prets aren’t caked in dust anymore.
Pros: close to stock, less dust
Just replaced my 2018 SE brakes with the PP Zimmerman and Textar kit from FCP Euro. So far it's pretty much identical to stock. Pads will make the difference when it comes to dust. I do like the Zimmermann blanks, so nice to have non-rusty rotors again
Pros: identical to stock, non-rusty
I use Zimmerman blanks on my track car and have been doing so for years. They work great, will hold up for numerous weekends, and are fairly inexpensive (free replacements from FCP Euro is also a big bonus).
Pros: work great, fairly inexpensive

I'm a big fan of Zimmerman rotors. They're reasonably priced and wear well. Just don't get the 'fancy' drilled/slotted ones.
Pros: reasonably priced, wear well
Cons: drilled/slotted ones bad

I bought the Zimmerman/Akebono kit when the E92 needed front brakes. I'm amazed how brake dust has been nearly eliminated and it has good bite.
Pros: reduced brake dust, good bite

I hate the brake dust and went with the Zimmerman/Akebono kit, it's amazing how clean the wheels have been since installing them.
Pros: clean wheels, reduced dust
Cons: brake dust
I’ve used Zimmerman rotors with Textar pads on my X5 and they’re pretty solid. They do squeak in the cold a lot more than the OE’s do but not that big of a deal to me. Performance wise I haven’t noticed a big difference if I’m honest.
Pros: pretty solid, good performance
Cons: squeak in cold weather
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I have those Zimmermann rotors for my car, and they DO judder. Granted the pads are not OEM...a low dust StopTech option. I've just accepted this...it's a winter car now.
Cons: rotors do judder
Vehicle:
Audi
