Product Line Details

ATE Coated Single Pack Rotor products are part of ATE’s coated brake disc line, which focuses on corrosion protection and consistent rotor quality. ATE is the Continental Automotive Systems brake brand, drawing on original equipment brake system experience and manufacturing standards used across major vehicle platforms. The SP25160 reflects that approach with a coated finish and OE-oriented construction for front brake service on the BMW X3.

Detailed Description

Use the ATE SP25160 when replacing the front brake rotor on a BMW X3 from 2004 through 2010. The vented rotor layout helps support heat management during repeated braking, while the coated surface helps resist rust on exposed areas of the rotor. With a 325.00 mm outside diameter, 25.00 mm nominal thickness, and full cast construction, this rotor is built to match the dimensional needs of the listed application. This part cross-references Bosch 15011495 for the same application.

Common Problems This Rotor Can Address

• Brake pulsation caused by a worn or uneven front rotor
• Visible rotor corrosion on the braking surface or hat area
• Reduced braking consistency from rotor wear
• Noise related to rotor surface condition
• Front brake service on a BMW X3 with the correct OE-style dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rotor diameter, thickness, and bolt pattern before installation on the BMW X3. Inspect pads, caliper condition, and hub surface during service so the new rotor seats properly. Clean the coated surfaces only as needed during handling, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedures for torque and bedding.

Quality Assurance

ATE brake parts are produced to a higher standard than conventional aftermarket replacements, using engineering and manufacturing experience from Continental Automotive Systems. The coated rotor design is intended to support corrosion resistance and consistent fitment for the listed front BMW X3 applications.
