Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR34161 is a full cast disc brake rotor specifically designed for BMW 525i and 528i vehicles. Its cast iron construction offers durability and effective heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency and rotor longevity. The vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, helping to prevent brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 0.87 inches and a discard thickness of 0.8 inches, this rotor provides a clear service life indicator to ensure timely replacement. The rotor’s 11.65-inch outside diameter and 2.99-inch overall height are engineered to match OEM specifications for proper fitment and performance. Featuring five mounting bolt holes with a 4.72-inch bolt circle diameter, the BR34161 rotor installs securely on compatible BMW models. This rotor does not include a rust-resistant coating or ABS tone ring and has a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation options.

Common Applications and Problem Solving
