▶ Vehicle Fitments
The DBA Front Drilled & Slotted 4000 Series Rotor for the BMW M3 E36 (95-99) is a high-performance brake rotor designed to enhance braking efficiency and heat dissipation. Constructed from durable 4000 series cast iron, these rotors feature precision-drilled and slotted patterns that improve brake pad bite, reduce brake fade, and promote consistent stopping power during spirited driving or track use. The drilled holes help dissipate gases and debris, while the slots assist in clearing brake dust, ensuring optimal contact between pad and rotor. This rotor offers a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved braking performance and longevity over standard OEM components.
Designed to fit 1995-1999 BMW M3 E36 models, these rotors are intended as direct replacements for stock units, providing a bolt-on upgrade without the need for modifications. Proper fitment may require measuring existing brake discs and pads, as vehicle configurations can vary. Suitable for street and track use, they deliver enhanced braking response and durability under demanding conditions. The kit includes the rotor itself, with installation requiring standard tools. These rotors are ideal for drivers seeking improved braking performance and heat management in high-performance or spirited driving scenarios.

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:

The 4000XS is a premium cross-drilled and slotted pattern designed to work in conjunction with DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system.
The XS pattern increases the number of out-gassing exit points to allow brake pad friction gasses to escape through. This increases the consistency and effectiveness of every brake stop.
These rotors also feature DBA's proprietary XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron and Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP) which prolongs the service life of the rotor.
DBA's revolutionary universal drill and slot design eliminates the need for separate left and right slot designs seen in traditional rotor designs.
For the spirited driver or performance modified street vehicle, the XS cross-drilled and slotted design is the best option.
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 and prolongs service life for both pads and rotors. Reduces mechanical damage and associated costs
XS precision CNC machined slots and cross drilling
- Increased number of out-gassing exit points for brake pad friction gasses to escape through increases the consistency and effectiveness of every brake stop.
- Universal drill and slot design eliminates the need for left and right discs
XG150 High Carbon Alloyed Iron
- An increase in thermal capacity property allows the rotor to handle constant extremes of heat over extended periods of time which minimises warping and cracking and prolongs the service life of the rotor.
- Special formulation designed to respond to DBA's TSP process.
Thermographic Temperature Monitoring
- Heat paint markings change colour at specific temperature thresholds offers the driver a clear indication of peak braking temperatures.
- When temperature thresholds are exceeded paint markings will permanently change colours allowing the driver to monitor rotor fatigue and decide on rotor replacement and to assist resellers with warranty claims.
Paint protection on non-friction areas
- Reduces corrosion, enhances appearance, stops any unsightly rust formation, adds value to the product.
