Subject: All I see is a rusty-looking rotor and caliper clip. That;'s not a problem. Author: davidc (moderator) : member since December, 2003 : 10223 posts Posted on: 2006-12-29 01:54:25

It just means that the previous owner didn't use factory BMW rotors (which are painted on the rim and hat to prevent unsightly, but unimportant, rust from forming) and evidently lost the original caliper clip.

When I buy aftermarket rotors, I always paint them myself before installation:
