This design is compatible with BMW 525i, 525iT, 530i, and 535i models, ensuring proper fitment and function. The rotor’s vented construction helps dissipate heat effectively during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. With an outside diameter of 11.8 inches and a nominal thickness of 0.390 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for thickness and size. The discard thickness of 0.331 inches indicates the minimum allowable thickness before replacement is necessary, helping maintain safe braking performance. The rotor includes five mounting bolt holes and a center hole diameter of 2.955 inches, matching the bolt pattern and hub size of the specified BMW models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRaybestos R-Line Product Line Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe R-Line by Raybestos is a product line focused on delivering reliable, OEM-quality brake components designed for direct fitment.
