i just confirmed it with my local parts dept (BMW)
same calipers also.
in fact my 2 cars are excatly the same apart from 1 turbo
same colour also......

Looked on www.realoem.com
530d lists 324/30 & 348/30
535d 348/36
550 348/36
540 348/30
Looks like only the 550 is the same. I did not look at them all maybe there are more though.

Ok, don?t beat me up!
I surrender!
I?ve seen the discs in a friends 5350d, and they are smaller.
Carfolio says it too.
But if realoem says it, and there are cars with similar rotors, i surrender!
So wich drilled discs can we find for our cars?

Maybe we can or should look for grooved or drilled discs for the 550?

Ok, i found these ones:
http://www.reddotracing.co.uk/
But they are 348/30 and not 348/36!
The thing is that for the 530d, they say that it is 324mm!

Looking at the application list, there is not a car (BMW) with 348/36 discs!
Only 348/30 discs!
And that works for the "5", "6" and even the "7"!!
Now, ain?t this crazy or what?!

I have been looking about to and can only find 348/30 same as you. Hmm. I take it the info on realoem is correct it usually is? Like you I find most placed list 324/30 for the 530d but realoem deffo lists 2 sizes. I wonder if it was an option / extra?
Zimmerman are very good and well priced. Loads of BM and Audi lads use them. I used them on my E39 530d and was well impressed. Can't find them for this car though.
