EBC Brakes GD1244 Front Brake Discs/Rotors for BMW 5 Series E60 E61 2003-2010 ATE Caliper – Slotted Grooved & Dimpled Vented Thermic Black – Performance Fast Road Sport Upgrade – Fits 520i 523i 525i Saloon/Touring

EBC GD Series Grooved and Dimpled Front Rotors for BMW 5 Series E60 E61 ATE Fitment - Part No. GD1244

Give your 5 Series the braking confidence it deserves with EBC GD Series front performance discs. Designed for fast-road use, these grooved and dimpled rotors deliver crisp initial bite, strong pedal feel and dependable stopping power when you push on. The Thermic Black anti-corrosion coating looks smart behind the wheels and helps keep the discs cleaner for longer, making them a superb upgrade over tired factory items.

Key benefits

• Wide slots pull cooler air through the contact patch to help control temperatures and reduce fade during repeated heavy stops.
• Dimples vent gases and dust without through-drilling, helping to minimise the risk of cracking while maintaining pad face cleanliness.
• Thermic Black protective finish for corrosion resistance and a premium OE-plus appearance.
• Slot layout helps deglaze pads and promote even pad wear for consistent friction across the disc face.
• Reduced wind noise versus many multi-slot patterns while keeping the cooling and cleaning advantages of a grooved surface.

Note: A slight whoosh under braking is normal with performance grooved patterns. If you prefer a quieter look and feel, EBC’s plain or quiet-slot options may suit your priorities.
