I just received my Zimmerman /Textar rotor pad combo today and installing on Thursday. I drive my car pretty hard but don’t track it anymore. Zimmerman should 1-1 stock as far as I understand
I went with the stock front 335i Grey 4 piston Brembo's (340mm rotors) and 2 piston Brembo's (345mm rotors) in the rear. I also went with stainless steel brake lines. I used the Zimmerman 2 piece rotors, I can't remember the pads, but I remember they weren't cheap. It stops really well for a daily driver.
My car is a daily driver so I used zimmerman blank 1 piece rotors and jurid pads.
Bought DBA T3 4000 rotors, DFC 5000 pads, a nice jack from harbor freight and some jackstands all for about 900 and did it all myself in about an hour and a half. Changing these pads and rotors are honestly a breeze.
I used Zimmerman rotors
Dba rotors and nothing else
I have been driving multiple BMWs for almost 20 years and have always used Zimmermans as replacement rotors. I will keep buying them.
The online vendors offer Zimmerman/Akebono kits, I installed one on the front of my E92 and brake dust is nearly eliminated. The Akebono Ceramic pads might have slightly less bite but I'm happy with them.
Zimmerman rotors (heavier then I would like)
I’m getting issues with rotors warping on my 2002 E53. I bought Zimmermann smooth rotors couple of years ago and they’ve been lathed couple of times now. At one point I had to replace Zimmermann pads too as they were excreting glue or something that caused “falling stars” on the rotor faces.
