I believe the OEM brake disc supplier is ATE ... but Zimmerman also do an OEM replacement for the CSL and is cheaper than BMW.

Thanks, I will have a look for a supplier, I'm stuck with the standard size.. my brake kit is taken from my old M3 so I can get caliper brackets made so I can put 345mm disks on from the 325mm performance friction disks that I have on now (m3 standard size) but I have to stay at 28mm wide, 345mm is the biggest disk size I have seen at 28mm, if you go any bigger the width also jumps up to 32mm.
I have found PF don't make a CSL size disk.

They are floating as the pins from the bell to the disc dont conduct heat :thumbs:
