if you do track days,performance brakes makes a difference.if not,the stock will do just fine.i thinkk the 325i has vented discs in front.this is good enuff for road use and also for the occcasional lead footed drives.but hey....if cost no issue,and it gives you the good and warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing you have brembos to stop you....by all means....

haha. thanx for the input. no track days for me. but occasionally rempit here and there. having said that does the brembo rotors has a significant advantage over the stock rotor. coz if the difference is minimal , mind as well go for the standard 1. also i dont think there is much of price difference with stock rotors.

thanx 26. will heck out the pricing on the brembo's today. any input on performance ?? from what i've read from other forums, it was said that the oem's are uses a slightly softer material as compared to aftermarket and had the tendency to warp after numerous hard brakings. also due to its softness it does not last as long. also i have check mudah.my there is 2 types or rotors available for e36, which is the ordinary brembo rotor and brembo max with slots. any recommendations on this items

I'm using the blank Brembo rotors with Jurid (OEM) pads, just changed a few weeks ago. Don't have experience with OE rotors and pads, but if you ask me I'll tell you they probably have no distinguishable difference. I've heard that OE pads doesn't squeal when it wears down, but that is about it. I used Textar (also OEM) without any problems, and now on Jurid.
OE rotors are about 260 per piece (front) and OE pads are about 2xx a set (front), given the price difference with OEM, I didn't bother with OE rotors and pads.
If you want slotted rotors I'd go with ATE Power Disc because it has a nicer pattern
Which was what I wanted to do initially but then I was on a budget so I just went with OEM all around.

Do you mind elaborating on the setup? In terms of parts needed, and whether the installation is bolt on or requires some modification. I've heard commonly about the upgrade to e46 330 brakes, but this is the first time I've heard of a 335i retrofit. Thanks in advance bro.
