Reviews
I just ordered pads, rotors and sensors for my 16 M235i. Cost out the door was $1000 for BMW OEM parts. Rotors are each unless it's bought in a kit. ($177 each) Rotors are likely smaller on the rear wheels.
Pros: OEM quality, good price
Vehicle:
BMW
I've installed drilled and slotted rotors on my pickup, BMW X5, and just ordered a set for my BMW Z3. I live in the mountains, drive spirited, and definitely have improved braking performance with them. Make sure you bed the pads in correctly.
Pros: improved braking
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I have also tested out detroit axles drill and slotted rotors. they are absolutely way thinner than I expected but still get the job done. I test them on daily driving and they hold up great in my experience. 4 months and going.
Pros: hold up great, daily driving
Cons: thinner than expected
For brakes and rotors I swear by Detroit Axle. They are excellent.
Pros: excellent quality
i bought used 2011 528i RWD N52 engine with 120k km 5 years ago.

Saves energy when braking. Its really satisfying to see the range go up when slowly braking downhill. This also saves your brake discs from wearing out fast, (just remember to use the brakes some times so they dont rust).
Pros: Saves energy when braking
Cons: need to charge often
Vehicle:
BMW
have drilled and slotted rotors for it with pads not installed, only problems are it needs the new brakes installed the current ones are warped
Cons: warped current brakes
Vehicle:
BMW
Ever notice how BMW does not use cross drilled rotors. I think Porshe is also open about the fact they only use them for the looks. HMMMM
Pros: BMW doesn't use drilled rotors
Cons: Porsche uses them for looks
the 325 rotors are tiny and have pitiful heat capacity
Cons: tiny, pitiful heat capacity
Vehicle:
BMW
BMW OEM rotors after 4 years and 35k miles. Junk build quality now
Cons: junk build quality
Mileage: 35000 km
