I got non-vented discs for a 316i from German, Swedish & French (GSF)
Schadenfreude - the German's haven't got a word for that.

Only 316/316i saloons came with solid front discs,the rest of the range have vented one's.
Vented discs are a little thicker,so will need the matching caliper and mounting bracket to convert.
I would expect that GSF/ECP should be able to supply solid discs,BMW certainly will,but I would suggest that you are seated when you ask 'how much?'
