Front brake rotor weight is 11.2 kg.
 Standard front brake rotor weight from BMW Х5М/Х6М is 17 kg.
Weight of a standard front brake caliper with pads is 8.5 kg.
Weight of a BMW F85/F86 front axle Brembo front 6-pot caliper is 5.25 kg.
Front caliperBMW F85/F86 with adapter and pads weighs 8.3 kg. Same as standard caliper with pads.
So, the front brake system becomes heavier because of the larger brake rotor. Specifically by 17 – 11.2 = 5.8 kg!!!!
