Cross drilled / Slotted rotors

Does anyone make cross drilled/slotted rotors for the 328xi's? i've seen them on Ebay but that is too risky for me. I'm looking for something reputable.

I would never buy slotted rotors off ebay unless they were from a reputible brand like brembo or baer.

Slotted rotors are much more prone to failure (cracking, deforming, etc..) and the last thing you want is for this to happen when driving.

Dont go cheap on your brake system.

The thing I HATE about cross drilled rotors is that when you wash your wheels, the water stays in the holes. The first time you drive away, the brown rusty water flies out and coats the inside of your rims. It looks like someone flung poo in there. I think I spend more time drying the rotors on my Porsche than I do washing the entire car, and I still get poo-water flyng out.

Actually slotted are fine and preferred over drilled for the very reason of cracking. I have never seen failure on slotted rotors, but I have seen several cracked cross drilled rotors.
