Default oct/2004 E60 Front brake discs

I have an 04 e60 525i and was wondering to get a new pair of brake discs from ebay as mine make a lot of sound and is about time to change. When i gave my VIN number to seller, he quoted as my car having two options of brake dics * Mine is not an Msport e60.

1) 310×24
2) 324×30

* Can somebody help out as in which is the correct dimension for my RHD E60 ( Europe ) ?

Thanks ..

take a ruler out to the car and measure the thickness of the rotor. You can do this with the tire on the car easily. It will be either 24mm or 30mm.

According to RealOEM, 2004 E60 525i Europe RHD front brake - brake disc is 310x24.

324x30 is for "officials utility vehicle", meaning security or government duty vehicles with reinforced brakes.

Strangely, the rear brake disc is listed as 320x20, bigger, but thinner than the standard front brake disc

Are the msport rotors the same as the normal ones? For my particular year/model?
