Rear Brake Rotor Upgrade for BMW 525i, 530i, 525iT, and 535i

PowerStop EBR289XPR is a rear disc brake rotor set built for BMW applications that need direct OE fitment with added cooling and corrosion resistance. The drilled and slotted surface helps maintain consistent pad contact in demanding driving, while the zinc-plated finish helps protect the rotor surface from rust.

Key Features

• Precision cross-drilled and slotted surface for improved heat management
• Rounded slots help clear dust, moisture, and gases from the friction surface
• Silver zinc dichromate plating resists rust and corrosion
• Direct OE fit for straightforward replacement on the rear axle
• Solid rotor design with 11.80 in. outside diameter and 5-lug bolt pattern

Product Details

The Power Stop rear drilled, slotted and zinc plated brake rotor pair, part number EBR289XPR, is engineered as a bolt-on replacement for select BMW rear brake applications. It uses a slotted X drilled surface type to support cleaner pad contact and more stable braking performance under heat, moisture, and dust exposure. This rotor is listed with a 9.00 mm nominal thickness, 2.40 in. overall height, and 120.00 mm mounting bolt circle diameter. Compatible With 1989-1995 BMW 525i, rear; 1994-1995 BMW 530i, rear; 1993 BMW 525iT, rear; and 1989-1993 BMW 535i, rear. PowerStop EBR289XPR is a practical OE-style upgrade for BMW 525i, BMW 530i, and BMW 535i rear brake service when corrosion resistance and rotor cooling are priorities.

This part cross-references Anchor 3451 and Centric Parts 120.34025 for the same application.

Common Issues This Rotor Can Address

• Brake fade during repeated stops or higher-temperature driving
• Surface rust on exposed rotor faces
• Dust and moisture buildup on the braking surface
• Uneven pad contact caused by worn or heat-affected rotors
• Noise or vibration associated with rotor wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle fitment, rotor dimensions, and lug pattern before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout-related brake pulsation. Inspect pads, calipers, and hardware condition during rotor replacement, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedures for torque and bedding.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop supplies direct-fit brake components built to match OE-style replacement requirements. The zinc dichromate coating adds corrosion resistance for long-term appearance and service life.
