rear rotor question

Time to replace my rear brakes and noticed this weirdly slotted rear brake rotors on my R53 isn't a standard item. No idea where the previous owner got it. I kind of like it and wanted to keep it that way. Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement ? Thanks guys!

Hard to see, but they might be these rotors by ATE:

Awesome! Thank you so much for finding it ( and the link to purchase too)

Reading the description, it is not really slotted, but are grooved wear indicators. So if the groves are still visible, there is still life left on the rotor?

I think so. I've had them on my '03 S for years and they haven't worn down to the groove. Still look pretty good too.
