Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900982 disc brake rotor is specifically designed for BMW 528i and 528i xDrive vehicles, ensuring precise fitment and consistent braking performance. Its composite construction features a cast iron braking surface that provides effective stopping power and wear resistance, while the aluminum hat reduces overall rotor weight to help maintain vehicle handling characteristics. The vented design enhances heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. With a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches (24 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.88 inches (22.4 mm), this rotor meets OEM specifications for thickness and durability. The rotor’s 12.99 inch (330 mm) outside diameter and five mounting bolt holes with a 4.72 inch (120 mm) bolt circle diameter ensure compatibility with the specified BMW models. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible installation options.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor surface wear
• Resolving rotor thickness below manufacturer discard limits
• Upgrading to vented rotors for improved heat management
• Ensuring proper fitment for BMW 528i and 528i xDrive brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum specifications
• Clean rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or contaminants
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking performance
• Check for proper rotor alignment and secure fitment during installation
