Help! Front Rotors needed!

[vanbavaria]

Hi all I posted this on the E3 general chat as well but I’m desperate and correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the front rotors on the E3 and E9 are the same? I’ve got a 72 E3 Bavaria and I can’t seem to find the front rotors anywhere. I’m looking for new old stock or good used....I don’t care. I’ve attached images with the OEM rotors on the vehicle with measurements. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Not the same, e3 are solid, e9 vented

Tim, try Jim at Mesa Performance. He often has stuff for the E3/E9 and many other BMW models, that no one else has. Good luck!

Let me reach out to Koopman. I gave him a NOS set about 2 years ago...i tripped over the box too often.

Carl Nelson at La Jolla might be another source.

Blunttech shows them and I was able to ad one to my cart.

Get the vented ones and redo your calipers w/the spacers.

Valuable upgrade IMHO.

And if you redo your calipers with the spacers, make sure you assemble them with the longer bolt in the right place. They will go together with the shorter bolt in the longer bolt location, but they are not safe this way.

That is a interesting idea. I think I saw the upgrade kits on Ireland engineering. Little to pricy for me at the moment I though.

Where can you find these kits?
