Floating brakes question

Why are the disks so expensive?

They look like any other disk.

Re: Floating brakes question

Are these the same brakes as the E36 M3 3.2 including the pads?

Take the wheel off & have a good close look at the way the rotor is mounted to the bell.

You will notice other things about them too if you spray some brake cleaner on the bell.

Hmm
