ID this brake rotor

Since I have a BBk set for the front I decided to look at a set of "spare" stock front rotors I bought last year. A just in case set. So I open the box and the hole spacing looks pretty small. I measure and it is 4x77-78 range.

Any clue what this may go to?

Hi,

the rotors are bolted to the back of the

hub in a smaller bolt circle than the wheel

studs. i don't have a set to measure but i

think you got the right parts.

stone

yes you are right..big stupid DUHHHH on my end. I was looking at the floating rotors from the BBK and I forgot the 02 rotors are not floating

Everyone feel free to flog me as I deserve it

I'm not as dumb as I look

Marshall I am most likely using the incorrect nomenclature. I have 320 hubs and vented rotors for my brake upgrade. The 320 rotors fit right over the 320 hub and have a small allen headed screw that holds them in place. So they are not really secured to the hub like an 02 rotor is. So I refered to them as floating because that is what I thought a floarting rotor was.

What is the correct name for the 320 setup?

just regular vented rotors. basically almost all cars made after the 2002 use this style of front rotor.

floating rotors are a high end/race part that mount the rotor disk surface independently (float) of the rotor hub to allow for expansion/contraction due to the heat generated. e36 M3 rotors are example of this. US market M3's got normal vented rotors. euro market M3's got floating rotors. i have the euro rotors on my e36 M3.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
