BMW Brake Pads for BMW 3 Series E30 (1984-1991)

BMW E30 Front And Rear Brake Pad Kit - EBC RedStuff is engineered for high-performance models driven aggressively on the street. These brake pads feature a low dusting compound that provides exceptional stopping power even when brake discs are cold. The Kevlar fiber-based material is enhanced with ceramic particles, offering significant improvements over previous EBC RedStuff versions.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Performance: Delivers superior braking power, especially for aggressive driving styles.
• Low Dust Formula: Reduces brake dust accumulation, keeping wheels cleaner for longer.
• Longer Lifespan: The advanced material composition extends pad life, ensuring consistent performance over time.
• Quieter Operation: Designed to minimize noise during braking, enhancing overall driving comfort.
• Bed-in Period: While the bed-in process may take up to 1000 miles, this pad shapes itself to the brake rotor for optimal performance.

From years of European automotive experience, the enthusiasts at ECS Tuning have developed a strong understanding of what it takes to produce a high-quality brake pad. After thousands of miles and many different pad compounds, they've landed on the ideal blend for the new DD23 "Daily Driver" brake pad! This enthusiast-developed pad offers confident stopping power, very low dust, quiet braking, and a positive initial bite. The perfect choice for your daily-driven Euro!

If you find yourself “pumping the brakes” over the brake pad selection process for your daily driver, your answer is this DD23 pad. This is the one!

As a team of enthusiasts who own all types of European cars, we have the advantage of the exposure that comes with the enthusiast lifestyle - and have a strong understanding of what makes a great brake pad. In the pursuit of a really great brake pad for daily driving, we’ve tested a wide range of brake pads. After thousands of test miles, iterating through a variety of pad compounds, we’ve landed on the ideal blend for our DD23 Daily Driver ceramic pad.

Features:

Good stopping power - Brake pads need to stop your car, period, so this is key. We focused on selecting a compound that offers a healthy level of friction (both when hot and when cold) for safe, positive stopping power.

Positive initial bite - You should feel your brakes engage as you press the pedal, but it should not feel like an on/off switch! Advanced ceramic composition means you’ll enjoy a smooth transition on and off of the brake pedal, meaning your passengers will have a comfortable ride in stop-and-go traffic. We’ve hit a good balance here.

Very low-dust - Some factory-installed pads are eye-poppingly dusty, which is a no-go for us. Thanks to the composition of this ceramic pad, which is copper-free and contains a negligible amount of other metals, dust is both lighter in color and very limited in amount. We’ve improved on the “dust factor” without sacrificing on bite and stopping power as a good compromise, which will be a win for anyone who doesn’t detail daily (or anyone who does, too!)

Quiet braking - It’s not a race pad, so it shouldn’t squeal like one. Extremely low metallic composition means they will not squeal. DD23 is comfortable and quiet - both on the ears and in lack of vibration transmitted through the cabin.

Long life - This should be an obvious one. Your daily driver pads should last and last, so that was key in selecting our ideal compound. This is another benefit to having ceramic material composition versus a softer organic pad (which have higher metallic and various organic elements) and wear much faster. Ours are kind to rotors, too (no accelerated wear characteristics) for many miles of motoring.

Ceramic Brake pads have advanced a great amount and show drastic advantages over traditional metallic and semi-metallic brake pads. Akebono in particular has been producing brake pads for major brands for years and their Euro brake pads have seen use in over 90 models of vehicles as the OE brake pads, ensuring high, consistent quality.

Thanks to Akebono’s pad formulation, you can enjoy many benefits including:

• Reduced Heat Absorption
• Reduced Brake Fade
• Reduced Stopping Distances
• Significantly Less Brake Dust
• Increased Brake Rotor Life

This item fits the following BMWs:

1999-2002 Z3 BMW

1995-1999 E36 BMW M3

1984-1995 E34 BMW 525i 530i 535i 540i M5

1988-1991 E30 BMW M3

1988-1994 E32 BMW 740i/iL 750iL

Brake pad wear sensor should be replaced at ever brake service, even if not worn down. This ensures the sensor is as new as possible and less likely to fail due to built up corrosion.

Fits the following BMWs:
E28, E24, E30 M3 - Front
E30 - Rear
