The DBA Drilled & Slotted Street Series Front Rotor for BMW 325i E46 RWD (01-05) is a high-performance brake rotor designed to enhance stopping power and heat dissipation. Constructed from durable cast iron with precision-drilled and slotted patterns, this rotor improves brake cooling and reduces brake fade during spirited driving. Its design promotes consistent braking performance and improved pad life, making it suitable for street use where reliable stopping is essential. The drilled and slotted surface not only enhances heat management but also provides better debris and gas removal, ensuring optimal contact between pad and rotor.
This rotor is intended for use on 2001-2005 BMW 325i E46 models with rear-wheel drive configurations. Due to variations in brake packages, it is recommended to verify fitment by measuring existing brake discs and comparing with the provided specifications. This direct replacement rotor is suitable for street driving and offers an upgrade over stock components for improved braking performance. Installation is straightforward, and the kit includes the rotor itself. Proper fitment depends on accurate measurement, and users should confirm compatibility before installation.

Notes Regarding Vehicle Compatibility:
Vehicle fitment provided in this listing is to be used as a rough guide only and may not actually suit your vehicle. Due to multiple brake packages sometimes being offered by manufacturers it may be necessary to measure your existing brake discs and/or pads and compare with the measurements provided by DBA here:

Returns/Exchanges will incur restocking and freight fees or may be denied in certain circumstances.
DBA's X Gold provides all the benefits of Street Series, with a premium non-directional cross drilled and slotted design, plus an attractive gold finish on the rotor hub of most models (Black offered otherwise).
The introduction of our unique cross drilled and slotted design increases the number of exit points, allowing more brake pad friction dust and gases to escape through both the cross drilled holes and slots, resulting in better braking performance.
While providing a similar performance benefit to the T2 slot, the X Gold is a popular alternative for open wheel and show cars. We recommend the T2 slot design for more intensive braking applications.
Features (Where Applicable):
Kangaroo Paw 144 diamond and tear drop pillar ventilation system
- Increased surface area resulting in greater heat dissipation which minimises brake fade and increases braking effectiveness
CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) machine turned
- Reduced DTV (Disc thickness variation) and parallelism which provides less occurrence of brake shudder or brake pedal "judder".
