The 980017 rotor is part of this line, offering vented rotor technology to manage heat and maintain braking efficiency under load.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances cooling during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The nominal thickness of 1.180 inches (29.950 mm) ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 1.118 inches (28.400 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor’s outside diameter of 13.060 inches (331.700 mm) and overall height of 2.440 inches (62.000 mm) are engineered for precise fitment on BMW X5 models. The five mounting bolt holes with a 4.724 inch (120.000 mm) bolt circle diameter and a center hole diameter of 2.953 inches (75.000 mm) provide secure installation and alignment.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on BMW X5 vehicles
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves braking performance by restoring proper rotor thickness
• Helps prevent brake fade during heavy-duty or extended braking
• Suitable for vehicles requiring vented rotors for heat dissipation

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal thickness of 1.180 inches (29.950 mm). Clean the mounting surface and check the mounting bolt holes for proper alignment with the vehicle hub. Use a torque wrench to tighten bolts to manufacturer specifications. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.
