If you're looking to upgrade your BMW 335i's braking system, the DBA 5000 Series Drilled & Slotted Ring is a fantastic choice. Designed specifically for models from 2007 to 2013, these rotors are crafted to deliver exceptional performance and reliability, whether you're on the street or hitting the track.
The 5000 Series rotors are made with a two-piece composite design that combines high carbon cast iron rings with aerospace-grade aluminum hats (T6061-T6). This means you’re getting the best of both worlds: strength and lightweight performance. The rotors are held securely together using National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts, ensuring that they can withstand even the most demanding driving conditions.
These rotors share all the cutting-edge technology found in the 4000 Series, but with added benefits. The aluminum hats help reduce unsprung weight, which can improve your vehicle's handling. Plus, they allow for uniform radial disc expansion, which means better heat management and less heat transfer from the disc to the hub.
Whether you're replacing your entire rotor assembly for the first time or just need to swap out the flat discs, we’ve got you covered. The DBA 5000 Series offers complete assemblies (hats and discs bolted together) as well as replacement hats and flat disc rotors. This flexibility allows you to reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series hats with new flat discs, making maintenance easier and more cost-effective.
The 5000 Series is perfect for high-performance street vehicles, track days, club racing, rally applications, and even show cars. If you want to ensure that your BMW 335i stops on a dime while looking great, these rotors are definitely worth considering.
Upgrade your braking experience with the DBA 5000 Series Drilled & Slotted Ring and enjoy the perfect blend of performance, quality, and reliability tailored for your BMW 335i!
