• 5-lug bolt pattern with 120 mm spacing
• Rotor outer diameter of 330 mm and thickness of 24 mm
• Rotor center hole diameter of 79 mm for precise hub fitment
• Minimum rotor thickness of 22.4 mm to ensure durability
• Compatible with BMW 228i, 328i, 328i xDrive, 330e, 428i, and 428i Gran Coupe models

Detailed Product Description

The Beck Arnley 083-3616 disc brake rotor is a vented design, which enhances cooling efficiency by allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces. This feature helps reduce brake fade during extended use. The rotor measures 330 mm in outer diameter and maintains a surface thickness of 24 mm, with a minimum thickness specification of 22.4 mm to ensure safe operation. The rotor hub outer diameter is 162 mm, and the rotor height is 73 mm, providing a precise fit for the specified BMW models. The 5-lug bolt pattern with a 120 mm bolt circle diameter and lug stud hole inner diameter of 16.7 mm ensures compatibility with factory wheel setups. This rotor is not solid but vented, which is beneficial for heat management in braking systems.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• BMW 228i
• BMW 328i and 328i xDrive
• BMW 330e
• BMW 428i, 428i Gran Coupe, and 428i xDrive Gran Coupe

This rotor is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors on these specific BMW models, restoring braking performance and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive brake noise due to uneven rotor surface
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Overheating and brake fade during prolonged braking
• Corrosion or surface damage affecting rotor integrity

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness meets or exceeds the minimum thickness specification of 22.4 mm. Use proper torque specifications for the 5-lug bolt pattern (120 mm bolt circle) to avoid rotor distortion. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and replace them if worn to maintain optimal braking performance. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for brake system maintenance.
