Google "who makes oem BMW rotors"

......and see what I am talking about. You'll see hundreds of forum threads that reveal Jurid & Textar and Zimmerman & ATE are the OE brake suppliers for BMW.
No one buys "Genuine BMW" brakes at the stealership for triple the price as the guy who knows how to work a computer (Google), goes and buys Jurid pads or ATE rotors from any of 2 dozen indep. online vendors.

So, who makes the rotors and pads that come with FRS?
Do people actually not know? Is that just not a thing with these cars?

I still can't process that FRS/BRZ people who DIY actually buy parts from the dealer (or online dealers, same thing, basically)
I guess it's a Japanese car vs. German car thing.
I know this is more a tuner and modder crowd, whereas Euro car owners tend to keep their cars stock.

LOL, haven't walked into a stealership in 6 years. Time to get the lube!
Damn, owning a Japanese car just got a lot more expensive than owning a German car.

Remember, you're too lazy to figure out the actual brand and buy it from a 3rd party.
Did you even read the link I posted way back in the thread? If you had you wouldn't keep babbling about who makes what. You want to see something neater? Click on the link I gave you and you totally ignored.

There is that triple the price thing again. Have you priced a single part at a Subaru dealer? Are you just making shit up?

Euro guys keep the cars stock? You have never actually been on a BMW or VW forum have you?
