They aren't. You have the right codes: 34-11-6-861-799, 34-11-6-861-800, so use these and dont confuse yourself with all the useless information out on different sites.

Received the 395mm calipers, 395mm rotors, and EBC Redstuff brake pads today. Getting closer.

I have driven 3 of my cars without dust shields, never had problems.
Pros:
- money saved when I upgraded brakes and didn't buy new shields
- weight saving while driving without shields
- better cooling of brakes when the air can circulate freely around them
- easier to troubleshoot them damn BMW brakes; measure the rotor thickness, detect possible uneven wear left/right side, allows measuring run-out when that shaking in the steering wheel reappears

I agree haha. With the nice calipers the plain rotors look too...plain. Going with dimples next time around.

BlackM750i What lug pattern do you have? I’m trying to put 395mm rotors on my 535 but can’t find some that are 5x120 lug pattern.

19 inch wheels should accomodate any original brake setup for G11/12.

I keep a document of every change I make to the car with the OEM part #'s and the part I used if I didn't go with OEM.
