Product Details

Brembo’s Premium OE Equivalent Rotor line focuses on replacement parts that match original equipment requirements for fit, finish, and braking performance. Part number 08.5442.10 features a 12 mm nominal thickness, 10.4 mm minimum thickness, 68.1 mm height, 75 mm centering diameter, 5-hole bolt pattern, and 120 Nm torque specification. The UV-coated finish helps protect exposed surfaces, while the high carbon material specification supports quieter operation and improved driving comfort where applicable. This rotor is a practical choice for restoring braking performance on BMW 735i and BMW 735iL rear brake service. This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes 96234R and Remy 96234 for the same application.

Common Issues This Rotor Helps Address

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven rear rotors
• Noise and vibration caused by rotor wear or material fatigue
• Reduced braking consistency from rotors at or near minimum thickness
• Corrosion on exposed rotor surfaces
• Loss of braking performance during rear brake service on BMW 735i and BMW 735iL models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, bolt pattern, and minimum thickness before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout-related brake noise or pedal pulsation. Brembo recommends replacing rotors and pads together to restore braking performance, and pairing this rotor with Brembo NAO/Ceramic or Low Met brake pad formulations can help maintain balanced braking characteristics. Confirm rear application and torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification during service.

Quality Assurance

Brembo develops this rotor as a direct replacement that meets or exceeds OEM specifications. The UV-coated finish, high carbon material specification where applicable, and included hardware support a consistent, OE-focused repair for BMW 735i and BMW 735iL rear brake maintenance.
