Source for slotted/drilled rotors in GCC?

Thanks to all :).

And yes, there is always an option to drill OEM's but... that's a bit ghetto I think!

My rotors are stock for 04 545i, no idea what size they are. I'm going to head down to Al Nabaa saturday to check out OEM pricing for the rotors and yeah, I'll either get the carbotech dustless or Axxis Deluxe. If I go for the drilled rotor/pad package from the states, it'll be axxis.

Your front rotor size is 348X30. The rears are 345X24.

Dirk,
Why don't you check with DBA? The UAE dealer page is here:

These guys are tough to get ahold of!! Been trying to call all morning, and emailed them yesterday.

Oh and for the record, Marwan rocks. I'm sure everyone already knows that but still. Had to be said :).

Looks like I'll have to just turn up. I finally get someone to pick up the phone, and I ask for what I'm looking for, she transfers me and no one ever picks up. 5 times now :lol:

Customer service at its finest :P.

I called them up, and after a long struggle I got through to the guy who is responsible for the products of DBA.....

And what was his answer :D

We only got DBA products for American and some Jap. Cars.......we did not import any for European cars..... Hilarious :rofl:

I'm sorry for that. If we can find the right part for your car, we can help importing them for you :)

Makes sense.. given that there are hardly no European cars here..... oh, wait..

Hysterical! Thanks for saving me a trip to Sharjah ;). The search continues...

Looks like they do not have anything for your E60 :(

You are welcome, but we still need rotors..... mine are showing cracks between the drills :cry:

Bashar, drilled/crossed rotors are beaten to death that they are not for performance driving at all! Would you like to take this to the next level chat then let's go on the sticky thread and talk about it, for everyone else to make benifit of.

My 2 cents, do not go for the drilled/crossed rotors if you track your car.

Yup yup! Only get'em if you're vain, like me!

Again UAE's parts landscape has defeated me. Shipping from other places is just too expensive and absolutely nothing but OEM is available here (at like twice the normal price). Closest I could find was EBC blanks available from the UK for about 630GBP.

Very, very frustrating.

Would you be interested in DBA directly from USA? Would you like to try Carbotech's OEM replacement in plain or slotted (not drilled) rotors? Please let me know.

I just gave Bruno the go ahead for OEM's here. Besides, shipping from the states costs about as much as the rotors themselves making it unfeasible. Otherwise I would have LOVED to nab some slotted...
