Detailed Description

ATE SP22160 is a coated front brake rotor made to meet or exceed OEM specifications for disc brake rotors in North America on listed BMW applications. The vented, full cast design supports heat management during repeated stops, while the rust-resistant coating helps reduce corrosion on exposed surfaces. This rotor is a practical choice for BMW Z4 front brake rotor replacement, BMW 325i front rotor service, and BMW 328i front brake maintenance where OE-style dimensions matter.

This part cross-references Bosch 15010055 and Brembo 09.7701.1X for the same application. The SP22160 part number is also associated with multiple aftermarket and OE-reference listings for the same BMW front rotor fitments.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
