Do the GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors fit carbon ceramic cars?

No. The GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors are for cars without carbon ceramic brakes. If your M2, M3, or M4 came with carbon ceramic brakes, you need the GiroDisc front iron rotor conversion (A1-322), which is a different part.

What are the GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors made of?

The GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors use 380mm rings machined from a proprietary high-carbon iron casting with 72 curved cooling vanes, a reusable 6061-T6 anodized aluminum hat, and cadmium-plated high-strength steel drive pins. All major parts are made in-house in Bellingham, WA.

What happens when the GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotor rings wear out?

Only the rings need replacing, not the full assembly. The reusable 6061-T6 aluminum hat is retained, and new rings (D1-282) attach to it. Replace the rings at a minimum thickness of 34mm, or sooner if a crack reaches the edge of the ring.

Are the GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors noisy on the street?

No. The GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors use spring clips and Belleville washers that give race-ready float while staying street-friendly, with no noise from loose hardware. They are suited to both street and track use.

Description

GiroDisc Front 380mm Slotted Brake Rotors for G8x BMW M2 / M3 / M4 (w/o carbon ceramic brakes)

BMW G8X front rotors from GiroDisc are 2-piece, fully floating 380mm front rotors, a direct replacement for the factory front rotors on the G80 M3, G82 / G83 M4, and G87 M2 without carbon ceramic brakes. These GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors help shed unsprung weight and rotating mass from the front axle, pairing a proprietary high-carbon iron ring with a reusable 6061-T6 aluminum hat for a race-ready assembly that stays street-friendly. The 72 curved vanes act as a centrifugal pump, pulling air in through the hub to effectively cool the rotors under hard use. Sold and priced per pair.

Why the GiroDisc BMW G8X Front Rotors?

The GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors use a 2-piece, fully floating design that sheds unsprung weight and rotating mass from the front axle versus the heavy factory one-piece rotor, improving braking response and reducing thermal transfer to the hub and bearings. The rings are machined from a proprietary casting of high-carbon iron formulated to GiroDisc’s specifications, superior metallurgy that holds up better under repeated hard stops. The assembly uses spring clips and Belleville washers for race-ready float while staying quiet on the street, with no noise from loose hardware.

Cooling and Construction

The 72 curved internal vanes of the GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors act as a centrifugal pump, pulling air in through the hub to cool the rings effectively when the brakes are working hardest. The reusable hat is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black anodize, while the drive pins are made from a high-strength steel alloy and cadmium-plated to resist corrosion. All major components, including the hats, rings, and drive pins, are manufactured in-house in Bellingham, WA, from domestically sourced materials.

A Reusable Two-Piece Design

The 2-piece design of the GiroDisc BMW G8X front rotors means the aluminum hat is reusable. When the rings wear out, you replace only the rings (GiroDisc part number D1-282) and reuse your existing hats, lowering the long-term cost of maintaining the brakes. GiroDisc recommends replacing the rings at a minimum thickness of 34mm, or sooner if a crack reaches the edge of the ring.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
