Rear brake rotors

[Z3Mroadster]

Which manufacturer made OEM rear brake discs on the Z3M?

I know the front euro floating brake rotors is from SHW!

 

[Pingu]

They don't have floating discs (rotors).

For "floating" maybe read ventilated? Just a thought.

The fronts are floating discs , the rears aren't . As per the OP

Can you define "Floating" please Martin?

Tony.

 

[Mnbrennan]

No problem. The bell and the disc are actually two separate pieces. The disc "floats" on pegs so that it is able to expand / contract separately from the bell.

Here is a picture of the fronts on a Z3M

And from the z3m brochure

Never noticed that about the M, they look quite discreet unlike aftermarket kits that a very obviously floating. Must be a few £££?

I think they cost me about £360 3 years ago. ATE also do the same for £220 albeit without the M marking

[Mnbrennan]

No need for the aggressive post mate. I've seen this before about front bumpers
