A1-012 GiroDisc BMW E46 M3 Front Rotors
Upgrade your BMW E46 M3’s braking system with the GiroDisc A1-012 front rotors—engineered to deliver reduced unsprung weight, improved thermal performance, and track-ready reliability. These 2-piece rotors are a direct replacement for the factory front rotors and bolt up with no modifications required.
Lightweight 2-Piece Design for Maximum Stopping Power
FITMENT: BMW E46 M3 (all years), Front
The GiroDisc A1-012 rotors are crafted for drivers who demand performance and longevity. Each rotor features a high-carbon alloy cast iron ring and a lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum hat. This reduces rotational mass, improves heat dissipation, and helps your braking system perform better on both street and track.
These rotors are fully compatible with OEM calipers and pads, and they install using your factory hardware. When the rings wear down, you can replace them with the D1-012 rings without having to purchase new hats—keeping future maintenance cost-effective and simple.
Each rotor includes GiroDisc’s floating hardware system, which allows for proper thermal expansion and helps eliminate vibration or warping during heavy use. The result is a rotor that stays quiet on the street and reliable under race-day conditions.
Sold and priced per pair.
