Official Warranty: We offer a 1-year free replacement for quality defects or coating issues under normal (non-track) use. Please note that provided specs apply strictly to brake hats and brackets; wheel fitment data is for general reference only. Wheel clearance issues are excluded from warranty coverage and data accuracy claims. If additional clearance is needed, wheel spacers must be added at the customer's discretion.

Will This Fit My Car?
Direct Replacement CCB Discs (Retain Factory Calipers) for the 2017-2023 BMW M550i / M550d (G30/G31). Factory rotor specifications and the smallest wheel that clears each trim:
| Trim | Front Rotor (Factory) | Rear Rotor (Factory) | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| M550i/M550d | 374mm, 395mm | 345mm, 370mm | 20" |
Keep Your Factory Calipers?
Front factory calipers must be fixed 4-piston or more; the rear axle is unrestricted. A 1- or 2-piston floating front setup belongs on the Full Upgrade route rather than this disc-only listing. For aftermarket calipers such as Brembo, AP Racing, Alcon or Wilwood, send the exact caliper model, pad shape, rotor dimensions and offset for custom-fitment review before ordering.
Spoke profile and offset also affect clearance — confirm your exact wheels before ordering.

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide friction material is selected for high-temperature stability and fade resistance. Overall pedal feel still depends on pad condition, fluid, caliper stiffness, cooling and operating temperature.
Rust-Free Rotor Surface
Ceramic discs cannot flash-rust. After rain, a wash, or weeks of parking, the rotor face behind your open-spoke wheels stays clean — no orange ring on a freshly detailed car.
Long Street-Service Life
In normal road use with matched pads and correct bedding, carbon-ceramic friction surfaces are designed for low wear. Actual service life depends on mileage, contamination, pad choice, heat cycles and driving use.
Low Visible Dust
Matched StopFlex pads are selected for low visible dust on the ceramic friction surface. Actual wheel dust still varies with pad choice, traffic, temperature, bedding and driving intensity.
Premium Ceramic-Glaze Finish
StopFlex's proprietary coating gives the disc a bright ceramic-glaze surface with subtle texture — the factory carbon-ceramic look, clearly visible through open wheel designs.
Short-Fiber or Long-Fiber — Your Call
Every StopFlex disc is true carbon-ceramic. Short-Fiber Street Spec uses a simpler chopped-fiber process for a lower price and street-only duty; the Long-Fiber line uses continuous carbon strands that carry load across the whole rotor for higher strength and thermal durability — the pick for track and race heat.
Bespoke Per-Vehicle Engineering
Every order is machined to the confirmed vehicle and trim. Brackets, hat offsets, and pad shapes are built for that exact car — never pulled from a one-size-fits-all catalog.
CCB-Specific Pad Compound
A low-metallic resin pad compound reinforced with steel, copper, and aramid fiber, made for ceramic discs: stable to about 750 °C, roughly 0.44 average friction, strong fade resistance, low rotor wear.
Lower Unsprung Mass
A like-size carbon-ceramic rotor can be materially lighter than an iron disc; the exact saving depends on rotor dimensions. Lower rotating, unsprung mass can reduce the load the suspension has to control.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
Winter use is possible, but cold-start behavior should be treated honestly: ceramic friction can have less initial bite before temperature builds. StopFlex tunes the matched pad/coating combination for cold response; keep extra distance on the coldest first stops and select a Street Spec for severe climates.
Choose Your Rotor: Short-Fiber Street to Long-Fiber Motorsport
Pick by how you drive and what you want to spend. Street-only and budget-minded: Short-Fiber Street Spec. Premium street, track days, or competition: one of the three Long-Fiber specs, whose continuous carbon strands carry the strength and heat margin that repeated hard braking demands.
Short-Fiber Street Spec
Chopped short-fiber carbon-ceramic body, ceramic coating, cross-drilled face.
Choose this for street-only use when purchase price matters most. It keeps the carbon-ceramic friction surface and coated finish, but it is not specified for track sessions.
Long-Fiber Street Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, ceramic coating, cross-drilled face, large cooling channels.
Choose this for daily and fast-road use when you want the long-fiber construction without moving to a track-focused face and cooling specification.
Long-Fiber Track-Day Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, ceramic coating, blank face, honeycomb cooling channels.
Choose this for repeated fast-road or track-day braking where thermal duty matters more than the drilled street appearance. High-temperature fluid and appropriate cooling still matter.
Long-Fiber Motorsport Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, uncoated blank face, honeycomb cooling channels.
Choose this for competition-focused use with the corresponding pad, fluid, cooling and warm-up strategy. It is not the default recommendation for a street-driven car.
Heat Management Note
Carbon ceramic rotors tolerate extreme surface temperature, but they do not remove every heat-management requirement. During repeated hard stops, heat still soaks into pads, fluid, seals, calipers, wheels, and nearby components. For long track sessions, mountain descents, or sustained aggressive driving, brake cooling and high-temperature fluid are still recommended.
Get Your Fitment Confirmed
Send the exact year, model, trim, current rotor sizes, caliper type, and wheel details before ordering. StopFlex confirms the supplied configuration before production and requests VIN/build data when needed.
FAQ
Does this Direct Replacement CCB rotor set fit my 2017-2023 BMW M550i or M550d?
This listing is limited to 2017-2023 BMW M550i and M550d models on the G30/G31 platform. Confirm the factory rotor reference before ordering: 374 mm or 395 mm at the front, and 345 mm or 370 mm at the rear. Front factory calipers must be fixed four-piston units or larger; rear caliper eligibility is unrestricted.
How do I choose the correct front and rear rotor configuration?
Order to the factory rotor size fitted to your axle, not simply the model name. The supported front references are 374 mm and 395 mm; supported rear references are 345 mm and 370 mm. Submit the vehicle details and existing rotor reference for confirmation when more than one factory brake configuration may apply.
Do I keep the factory calipers on my G30/G31 M550i or M550d?
Yes. This is a Direct Replacement configuration that retains the factory calipers rather than converting the car to a separate caliper system. The package uses StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotors, matched pads, vehicle-specific rotor hats, and floating hardware. At the front, the retained factory caliper must be a fixed four-piston design or larger.
What should I expect from carbon-ceramic brakes in cold winter conditions?
An untuned cold carbon-ceramic disc can have less initial bite than cold iron. StopFlex specifies a matched pad compound and disc coating to reduce that cold-start gap, but the coldest first stops still deserve extra margin. Do not expect identical warm-weather and winter first-stop behavior.
