i have searched everywhere and can not find any front or rear drilled or/and slotted discs, for the 530/535d
there are ones listed for 525d (e60) and M5 etc, but none for the diesel
i know the rotor size goes up quite a bit from the 525 to the 530/535d, and its these larger ones im after
any ideas guys?

If they are listed for the 525d(!?) they for sure are available for your car.
Talk with your local, or not so local, BMW dealer.

none of those on there will fit my car?
the 530/535d is totally different from the petrol model, they have larger discs.
and 525d discs do also not fit, they have to be for the 530/535 diesel only.....

My Ride: 535d Fully loaded
We have 348mm rotors on the front, wich i beliee to be the same size of the 545i and 550i.
so my suggestion is to look for rotors for these cars and install them in your 535d.
The brake rotors of the 530d are smaller than the 535d.

Would using 535d rotors require different calipers?
Would using 535d rotors require a minimum size wheel, i.e., 18"?
I am curious.

So, two dumb questions then:
Would using 535d rotors require different calipers?
Would using 535d rotors require a minimum size wheel, i.e., 18"?
I am curious.

17" are the minimum size wheel for the 535d.
As for the calipers, i believe that they are different too!
