The euro only 3.0S, 3.0Si and 3.3L all had vented front rotors front and rear, all others were solid rotors. Part numbers 34 11 1 108 131 and 34 21 1 108 132.

Don, Time to get some sleep on your 12 hour flight!
Oh no- I’m flying to Texas today.
Driving in Texas is better than Europe.

World Brake Resources had them in stock. Was able to purchase through Zygmunt Motors in Doylestown PA.
Now to drive it some and see what unfolds.
Thanks all for the help.

Nice find, PN not listed on Zygmunt site.
How much were they?
The calipers for almost all the early big sixes and the ti/tii/turbo are the same with the only variation being if they have spacers or not. Later six cylinder Bimmers used a vented caliper with slightly thicker pads but still bolt up on the early sixes and '02s with the ti/tii/turbo strut. The later calipers are heavier and the halves are held together with bolts that thread into threaded holes. The early calipers used bolts and nuts. See attached comparison pic.
We have caliper spacer kits to convert any of these early/late calipers from non-vented to vented. Then, all you really need are the vented rotors. Please see this page:

As it turns out my niece's husband knows them so I may have gotten a discounted rate at 70 per rotor. So quite the bargain.
Has been a bit of a learning curve but getting to know my way around the car.
