Remember, these rotors are 2mm thicker than stock, and have a 2mm runout to replacement vs. 1.6mm for stock. Hats are reusable, only rings are replaced. Should have a much longer life than stock.

Getting in on the Rotors also qualifies you for the upgrade to 4 piston BBK at a cost of $1,184 (which is a steal).

Getting in on the GB also qualifies rear rotors and rear BBK at the 20% discount prices as well.

Heck, there's even an upgrade path (using same hats and BBK calipers) to larger E90 M3 sized rotors!
Good points!

Also note that in addition to 25% more wear till minimum (which gives an automatic 25% more life) the following is also true:
-OEM ZCP/MZ4 has been tested at 145 Brinell hardness, RB tested at mid 190's
-RB will run cooler than an OEM ZCP/MZ4 rotor
-Most reviews of their rotors online consistently say they get longer life out of the rotors, including one member who has these exact rotors.

Add it all up and I wouldn't be surprised if you got double the life of the OEM rotor.
