Centric 320.34096H Disc Brake Rotor - Front

Centric GCX Front Brake Rotor for BMW X5/X6

Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor 320.34096H is a front vented rotor built for BMW X5 and BMW X6 applications that call for OE-style braking performance and corrosion resistance. The fully coated finish helps protect non-mating surfaces from rust while maintaining a clean appearance over time.

The GCX product line uses application-specific coating patterns and Centric’s high-carbon metallurgy to align with OEM-style rotor requirements. For BMW X5 front brake rotor replacement and BMW X6 front brake rotor service, this rotor is built around the dimensions and surface profile needed for direct-fit service.

Product Details

Centric GCX rotors are engineered to match original-equipment performance targets while adding protection against corrosion on exposed surfaces. This rotor measures 348.000 mm in outside diameter, 62.200 mm in overall height, and 75.000 mm at the center hole diameter. It uses a straight vane style, a smooth friction surface, and a 5-hole lug pattern with a 120.000 mm bolt circle. The GCX coating strategy is applied to non-mating areas to help preserve the rotor’s appearance and service life.

Fits 2007-2013 BMW X5, front. Fits 2016-2018 BMW X5, front. Fits 2008-2010 BMW X6, front. This part number, 320.34096H, is a direct-fit option for drivers searching for a BMW X5 front rotor or BMW X6 front rotor with coated corrosion protection.

Common Brake Issues This Rotor Can Address

• Front rotor rust on exposed surfaces
• Brake pulsation caused by worn or below-spec rotors
• Noise from uneven rotor wear
• Reduced braking consistency from heat-stressed rotors
• Replacement needs after rotor thickness reaches discard limits

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor diameter, center bore, bolt circle, and thickness before installation. Clean the hub face thoroughly so the rotor seats flat, and inspect pads and caliper hardware for wear before completing the brake service. Because this is a vented front rotor with a floating mounting design, proper torque and even wheel lug tightening are important for consistent brake feel.

Quality Assurance

Centric’s GCX line is built around OE-style fitment targets, application-specific coating patterns, and high-carbon rotor metallurgy. The RS200 finish on non-mating surfaces is used to improve corrosion resistance and help the rotor maintain its appearance during service.
