Pros: affordable, DIY friendly

Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads pair up nicely, all from FCP euro
Pros: pair up nicely
I put about 4k miles on the Zimmerman front rotors + Hawks HPS 5.0 so far. There is still a little squealing coming from the setup. Very small. Pretty sure the pads are the reason. Not the rotors. Lots of people are using thre Zimm rotors here in Quebec Canada. And noise isssue isn't something that comes in the reviews.
Pros: rotors, no noise issues
Cons: little squealing
Mileage: 6437 km
Zimmerman rotors, will not warp or crack like inferior chinese metals.
Pros: durable, reliable
I am about to get pads and rotors done all around at 110,000km. Textar pads and Zimmerman rotors
Mileage: 110000 km
+1 for Zimmerman rotors. They are great and resist against rust better than the oem discs. I’m currently on HPS5.0 and Zimmerman at front. Braking power is great. No dust almost.
Pros: great braking power, resist rust
Cons: some squealing noise
I just installed Zimmerman rotors with the stoptech pads upfront and ate ceramic pads for the rear. Performance has been excellent for a street driven car. Noticeably better than the stock pads.
Pros: excellent performance, better than stock
I'm going to need front brakes soon. Last time I got brakes I ordered one of their Zimmerman/Akebono kits that covered all four corners, rotors and pads. I only need front pads and rotors, so I was going to order the same kit, just for the front, and then send in my old pads and rotors off the front.
Pros: great deal
They work great they are an oem supplier.
Pros: work great, OEM supplier
Vehicle:
BMW
Go with good solid OE quality coated rotors, and a low dust pad like Zimmerman and Akebono, Brembo, etc. You'll probably never push the limits of the stock brakes if youre not tracking the car.
Pros: good solid OE quality
Cons: slotted eat pads
Vehicle:
BMW
