If you’re looking to upgrade your BMW 1 Series M from 2011, the DBA 5000 Series Drilled Ring is a fantastic choice. This brake rotor is designed specifically to fit your vehicle, ensuring a seamless installation and optimal performance on the road or track.
The DBA 5000 Series rotors are crafted as a composite two-piece direct replacement, incorporating only the finest materials. With high carbon cast iron rings paired with aerospace-grade aluminium hats (T6061-T6), these rotors are built to withstand even the toughest driving conditions. They are securely held together with National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts, guaranteeing durability and reliability.
While sharing the impressive technology of the 4000 Series, the 5000 Series takes it up a notch with enhanced weight reduction and superior heat management thanks to the aluminium hats. This design not only decreases unsprung weight but also allows for uniform radial expansion of the disc. Plus, the aluminium hats help minimize heat transfer from the disc to the hub, keeping your braking system cool and efficient.
Whether you’re replacing your rotors for the first time or looking to maintain your current setup, we offer complete assemblies that come ready to install, as well as separate replacement hats and flat disc rotors. This flexibility means you can easily reuse your DBA 5000 Series hats with new flat discs, making maintenance a breeze.
The DBA 5000 Series is highly recommended for high-performance street vehicles, track days, club racing, rally applications, and even show cars. If you’re passionate about driving and want the best for your BMW 1 Series M, these rotors are an excellent investment.
