2 piece oem rotors vs solid rotors M235i

matrixhunter · 01-13-2019, 09:18 AM

I need some advice. It's time to change the rotors and pads on my M235i. I have already purchased EBC REDstuff pads but I'm not sure what to do about the rotors.

OEM 2 piece rotors (pilenga) I can pickup for $215 each + tax Canadian or
1 piece Zimmerman rotors are $114 each+ tax Canadian.

Are the 2 piece rotors worth almost double the price? I tend to drive aggressive and replace rotors and pads every 40,000- 50,000km. I do not track my cars. Aside from the 1 pound weight difference are there any other benefits to the 2 piece rotors?

Zimmerman's are perfectly fine. There is a little weight savings on the oem discs but other than that no real difference.

I went with red stuffs and the Zimmerman dimpled/slotted discs and have been happy.
