Hi Guys!

Really would appreciate to learn from any of you the part number of the Front and Rear BRAKE ROTOR

Vehicle is a 95 540i Touring with chassis number GK01115

I am in the process of purchasing and the fellow at the parts store is telling me that the brake rotor (disc as he refers to it) of the 540i is the same for use on the 535i. Logic tells me though that they are different, given that ebay sellers have a different item listed for the e34 540i and e32 740i as compared to the e34 525i/535i models.

Thank you for the help if you can advise the part numbers accordingly :)

Front 34 11 6 756 090
Rear 34 21 1 165 265

The rear is ventilated 300x20 instead of solid....that is the difference there. Used on the 540 and M5.

The fronts are also a bit thicker and used on the 540 and E32 (302x28) instead of 302x22 which are used on all other E34s except M5.

Thanks again Scott!

I successfully was able to secure the right brake rotor for both front and rear brakes (both ventilated, with the front thicker than the standard 535i version).

Your link will also be very helpful for future maintenance purchases.
