I bought OE X5M rotors because of not so great reviews of the brakenetic rotors. Heavier than OE, and several complaints about noise. I'm in the GTA as well. I can PM you what I paid for the OE rotors

I sent an email and they replied by offering me $40!!
$40 is to cover the cost of black caliper heat paint and the inconvenience. |

EDIT: Did you ask them about the lines? They may have sent you a lightly used rotor by mistake. Last edited by tominfhl; 09-25-2020 at 09:17 AM.. |

I want cross-drilled rotors, working on that but used Akebono 50i Rotors to make the caliper bracket work. Luckily the shop had an X5 spindle laying around. Calipers happen to be Yas Marina Blue. Probably going with a different color even though they look pretty sweet.

Installed my setup over the weekend and couldn't be happier. The pedal is a little soft but braking is a huge difference over the 35i stock brakes. I might bleed the brakes again next weekend.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I can't reset my service indicator. I'm assuming it's cause I reused my brake sensors?? |

So this is how they came out. The installation was pretty straightforward as soon as they had the solid aluminum brackets made. The car definitely brakes better and harder. I would like to have them coded. I am also on the hunt for proper cross-drilled rotors. These are Akebono 50i Rotors 380mm. I've put 150 miles on them so far. I'm very happy. The color is Porsche 253 Light Green.

Parking brake on the X is not a function or the rear caliper. So no you don't lose anything.
