Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR34162 rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of strength and thermal conductivity essential for braking components. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent performance. The drum-in-hat configuration integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor, making it suitable for vehicles equipped with rear drum parking brakes, such as the BMW 525i, 528i, 530i, and 540i models. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with BMW 525i models requiring a vented disc brake rotor with drum-in-hat design
• Suitable for BMW 528i, 530i, and 540i vehicles with matching rotor specifications
• Designed for rear brake assemblies that utilize a 5-bolt mounting pattern and drum-in-hat rotors
• Ideal replacement for worn or damaged rotors affecting braking efficiency and parking brake function

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.72 inches) before installation
• Verify mounting bolt hole pattern and center hole diameter match vehicle specifications
• Clean rotor mounting surface and hub to prevent runout and vibration
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Check compatibility with existing brake pads and parking brake components
