EBC GD1354 Grooved and Dimpled Front Brake Rotors for BMW 1 Series and 2 Series with TRW Front Calipers

Boost stopping confidence on your BMW with EBC GD Series front rotors, part number GD1354. Designed for fast road use, these performance discs feature precision machining with aggressive grooves and dimples for cooler running, improved pedal feel and consistent braking on daily drives and spirited B-road blasts. Perfect for BMW E81 E87 F20 F21 1 Series and F22 F23 2 Series models equipped with TRW front calipers, they are a direct replacement upgrade for the front axle.

We run these on our own builds at MJ Modifications and on customer cars across Warwickshire, and the feedback is exactly what you want from a brake upgrade. Strong initial bite, stable high speed stopping and great durability thanks to EBC’s Thermic Black anti-corrosion finish.

Why choose EBC GD1354 for your BMW

• Deep machined grooves pull cooler air through the contact area to reduce heat build-up and help resist fade under repeated stops.
• Dimpled surface aids pad deglazing and gas evacuation without full through-drilling to minimise the risk of cracking.
• Optimised groove layout for effective cooling with reduced air noise compared to heavy slot patterns.
• Thermic Black protective coating for smart looks and corrosion resistance that burns clean at the pad track.
• Even pad contact for flatter wear and consistent braking feel throughout the disc and pad life.
• Direct-fit front rotor upgrade for TRW caliper cars. No modifications required for compatible models.
• Backed by EBC Brakes warranty. One year or 10,000 miles.
