You don't necessarily need to get new rotors along with new pads, unless your rotors are worn down to replacement spec and/or have significant lippage on the edges.
If you only get brake pads, and not new rotors, then just bed the new pads in using bedding procedures such as the one StopTech has available (do a search on Google or something). If you only do street driving, you might be just fine driving normally on the new pads. No real need for specific bed-in procedure. Rotors are cheapest @ Tischer BMW I believe: www.getbmwparts.com Fronts: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462 Rears: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462 Front pads part number: 34112282995 Rear pads part number: 34216761248 |

Those ones from Ebay are probably not very high quality. I wouldn't skimp out on something like brakes and tires. They're what stops your car
Just pay for OEM if you're not sure about other options. Yes, we have same brake components as E46 M3 ZCP only. The competition-packaged ones only. |

Those rotors are the same, and the difference in the few cents will probably get ironed out during online checkout. They'll probably charge you additional for shipping and small online service fee so don't be alarmed.
Make sure you order two front rotors and two rear rotors. Check that tha part numbers are correct during checkout. And you might as well order other stuff that you might need at the same time, to make full use of the shipping/service charge. Get your brake pads front and rear and maybe an oil change kit or two while you're at it. If you go to www.getbmwparts.com , look for the online specials on the lefthand side. Then click pn M3 forum. There will be some E46 M3 items there that you can browse through, and since some are same application for the Z4M, you can just add it to your online shopping cart. |

If you're looking for Z4M front rotors go to RM European for the Zimmermann brand (made in Germany) 345 X 28mm, aluminum hub, cross drilled rotors for $209.62 each including shipping.
Just installed a set and they are OE spec rotors.
