PowerStop EBR496XPR Disc Brake Rotor Set - Front

Front Brake Rotor Upgrade for BMW 525i and 528i

PowerStop EBR496XPR is a front disc brake rotor set built for BMW 525i and BMW 528i applications. It combines drilled and slotted rotor surfaces with a zinc-plated finish to support cooler braking performance and corrosion resistance in everyday driving and demanding conditions.

Key Features

• Direct OE-fit front rotor replacement for listed BMW applications
• Precision cross-drilled design helps improve heat dissipation
• Rounded slots clear gas, dust, and moisture from the friction surface
• Silver zinc dichromate plating helps resist rust and corrosion
• Vented rotor construction supports brake cooling
• 5-lug, 120 mm bolt circle fitment
• Outside diameter: 296 mm; overall height: 76.4 mm

Product Details

The Power Stop drilled and slotted rotor line focuses on direct-fit brake upgrades that retain OE-style installation while adding surface features for thermal management and cleaner pad contact. On BMW 525i and BMW 528i front brake applications, EBR496XPR uses a slotted X drilled surface and vented construction to help manage heat buildup and maintain consistent braking response. The zinc dichromate coating adds a corrosion-resistant layer that helps protect the rotor surface from rust.

This part number, EBR496XPR, is a practical choice for drivers searching for a front drilled and slotted brake rotor pair for 1997-2003 BMW 528i and 2001-2003 BMW 525i models. It cross-references Centric Parts 120.34045 and Raybestos Brakes 96801 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake fade during repeated stops or higher-temperature use
• Surface rust on exposed rotor faces
• Dust, gas, and moisture buildup between pad and rotor
• Uneven friction contact caused by worn or heat-affected rotors
• Reduced braking consistency on front axle service

Installation Notes

Compatible With 1997-2000 BMW 528i, front and 2001-2003 BMW 525i, front. Verify rotor dimensions, hub fitment, and pad condition before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly and confirm the rotor seats flat before reassembly. Follow the vehicle service manual for torque specifications and bedding procedures after installation.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop manufactures this rotor set as a direct OE-fit replacement with drilled, slotted, and zinc-plated construction for consistent fit and finish. The EBR496XPR part number is engineered to match the listed BMW front brake applications without special modifications.
