I'm planning to change the front rotors myself.
AZ BMW dealers charge $420 for the front pair (Inc tax and BMWCCA
discount).
bavauto charges $200 for a pair.
My question; are third-party rotors any good?
Who sells "TRULY"-OEM BMW parts other than BMW?
Coupla quick points:
1) BMW does not make rotors, they buy them
2) The rotors on your BMW are nothing particularly special. You can buy rotors from ATE, Brembo, Zimmerman, Balo, that are the equivalent to whatever you get over the parts counter at the stealership.
3) You live in AZ. I have had very good luck with buying parts from Autohaus AZ and I'm in NH and have to wait a lot longer to get them.

You have to "join" to get the cheaper prices for some reason, but that is free and well worth the hassle IMO.
PS- My choice would be the Zimmermann non-drilled disks at ~$63 per front and $52 per rear. Cross drilled disks are for poseurs...
