Just purchased these 4 rotors from forum vendor Anthony@F1 Autohaus . Found out that bmw will be replacing my warped rotors under warranty so these wont be needed. Brand new in box. Purchased for 325 shipped will let go for 280 shipped or 250 picked up locally in the bay area.
Description taken from vendor forum
Slotted/X-Drilled Rotor
* The slotting will increase rotor heat.
* The drilled holes will increase the cooling after braking.
* The drilled holes will increase the water braking.
* Drilled and slotted are going to weigh less from the same manufacturer. Other designs might be lighter from company to company.
* Drilled and slotted will give the most performance benefit to acceleration due to the lighter weight.
* Drilled and slotted will also be the hardest on your brake pad (wear and tear)
* Drilled and slotted only maintain 80-91% of the friction surface.
