I use Zimmerman rotors on my XC60 and her BMW. Excellent bang for buck in my opinion. Don’t like brembo pads for the dust, use Akebono on BMW, Alebono or Volvo pads on Volvo for dust control.
Zimmermann from FCP Euro hav been great on my N55 F10.
I mostly use ATE. For some more racing i often use Tarox F2000 rotors and Ferodo DS2500 pads.
check out the Zimmermann set from FCP. Much smoother, and almost no brake dust. And I believe they cover a full replacement under their warranty program.
According to the newsletter today, Rock Auto has added Zimmerman to their catalog. They have some for Phaetons if yours has the smaller front rotors.
Am discuri si placute ATE de cand am luat masina noua, in 2012. Discurile le-am schimbat de doua ori in 200k km, si placutele nu mai imi amintesc. Tot timpul am pus ATE. Masina franeaza ff bine, si cu praful ma descurc.
I used Zimmermann replacements discs and pads on my B9 RS4 for 5 years/70k miles. Had 3 sets all around over that time. The front discs and calipers are the same as the etron. They were good products and hard to tell the difference from OEM.
I replaced the front pads and rotors on my F20 M135i yesterday. Same Brembo brakes as yours. I did a lot of research, and there isn't really "better" than stock for the same money. The only better option would be to upgrade to bigger brakes, but that would cost way more. I ended up going with Zimmerman Z-coat two piece rotors and ATE pads. The Zimmerman rotors are the slotted and dimpled versions. BMW calls that the M Performance rotors as OE. They're the same size - 340mm. They reportedly don't give much of a performance increase, but they weigh about 8% less than standard discs. All together with the hardware (guide pins, caliper bolts, etc) was about £500 with shipping from Spareto.
I've got Zimmerman rotors on the front and haven't noticed any difference from stock.
Also don't opt for Zimmermann. Go ATE, TRW or Textar. Trust me. Been there regretted every penny I spend on those death traps.
