As general info, the e30 disc hub is 65.90 while the bore in the hat shall measure no more than 0.1mm over, which is a play that you shall feel when moving the hat on the hub. Anything over 66.00mm can be considered excessive. I personally machine my hats at 65.95mm +0.03
I would consider having 0.45mm play (66.35mm bore) as being excessive.
BTW The Christmas holidays are sometimes the only free time some vendors will take in a year, so yes, they may be slow to reply if you email on the 25th of December :D
Oh, and in regard of the bolt holes, it seems that Bimmerworld had the "great" concept of using studs to center rotors. Basically, their 12mm studs have a 14.2mm knurl. Great, except that many hat manufacturers stick to a 14mm bolt hole. Therefore, you have to redrill the mounting holes on the hats with a 9/16" bit aka 14.29mm
