Brake Rotors and Pads
I have a 1996 Z3 1.9 with about 55K miles. The brakes are about due to for service. The front rotors are showing some wear and rather than having them turned I'm thinking of just replacing them with Zimmermann Cross Drilled. Anyone have any opinions on this, and suggestions for compatible pads?

You dont need them. Cross drilled usually are only needed for track use. On your car it would be overkill. Drilled rotors wont really do naything for you unless you are racing.

Porterfield RS4s is what a lot of people are replacing stock pads on the M series with. Perhaps they make it for yours? Assum
