Default cross drilled rotors

Hey everyone. So I bought myself a set of Zimmermann cross drilled rotors for the front. I'm going to be doing a M3 front brake upgrade soon. However, I was wondering if anyone knew if there are cross drilled rear rotors available for the rear set? I would like to match the rear with the front if possible. I'm not particualr about brands, except I don't want ebay ones.
Thanks,
Marv

bavauto sells cross drilled rear rotors, but I haven't heard good things about them, maybe you could upgrade to Z3 brakes in the rear? I'm not 100% sure that it's a simple swap though

Z3's 1.9/2.8 use the same pads/rotors as the Ti unless. Not sure about the 3.0, M's were much bigger but you're messing with the F/R bias. You may end up going backwards on the freeway, but you'll look fab with the cross drilled rotors.

yeah, i was looking into that. Do the 318i/is/iC and the 318ti use the same size/type of rear rotors??
b/c i see that the cross drilled rotors are available for the 318i/is/iC.

According to realoem, the rear rotor is unique to the ti.

I always thought it was the same as the Z3. Guess not.

Sorry, the later vented Ti rotors are the same as later vented z3 rotors... but this is from memory. I know the pads are the same.
