BMW Street Brake Pads for BMW 8 Series E31 (1991-1997)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Street pads that we sell include direct OEM replacements as well as street performance pads with better stopping power than an original pad. As BMW specialists we look for products that perform better than the original BMW part without additional compromises. And nowhere is that more critical than on a brake pad. Street pads should be user-friendly with no noise or vibration. They need to work right away, even at cold temperatures. Street pads generally trade high temperature performance for low temperature performance, which makes them work excellent in street situations but generally do not hold up well over continued track use. A high initial bite is fine but may make the car feel nervous when the brakes grab unexpectantly. Brake dust residue should be kept to a minimum. And any street pad should be easy on rotors - not contributing to high rotor wear or noise.

Examples of Street brake pads that we sell are: StopTech Street Performance, Axxis XBG Metal Master, Axxis ULT Ultimate, Hawk HPS, Hawk Ceramic, Ate, Textar, Pagid, Jurid, and Genuine BMW label

A high-performance street pad with much-improved braking performance and without the levels of dust from a factory pad. The Street 5.0 pads are perfect for drivers who don’t want an ordinary replacement pad and want something that will hold up during aggressive street driving. The Street 5.0 pads are similar to the established Hawk HPS pads but with more initial bite. While the HPS pads fill the need of a direct replacement OEM-type pad, the Street 5.0 kicks braking performance into the next gear. With the Street 5.0 pads you can expect:
  • Better stopping power even when the pads are cold
  • Good initial bite (more than on Hawk HPS)
  • Excellent resistance to fade during street use
  • Moderate dust during normal street driving
  • Quiet operation
  • Easy on rotors

This pad set includes pads for both REAR brakes.

These pads were originally equipped on the E39 M5, E46 M3, and Z4 M models. Owners of the E39 M5 and E46 M3 will know that the stock pads are already quite 'aggressive' from the factory with a lot of initial bite. The initial bite was built into the pad to stop criticism of BMW's lack of 'performance' brakes. Instead of building the M models with exotic - and expensive - multi-piston calipers, BMW engineers turned up the braking power in their pads. For the street, these are excellent brake pads with excellent feel and performance. The only downside is the dust that comes from an organic pad. The problem with many aftermarket and OEM pads is that they do not match the same level of initial bite as the stock OE BMW pads. This can make the brakes feel 'weak' and 'numb' even though the pads are working properly. If you want to maintain your braking feel, these are the best to use.

Although these pads were originally designed for M cars, they fit other models as well, making them a great first-step upgrade for better braking.

Price is for one set of pads - enough to replace the pads on both rear calipers.

These rear pads fit the following BMWs:
1999-2006 E46 BMW 330i 330ci 330xi M3
1997-2003 E39 BMW M5

EBC Redstuff brake pads are designed for high performance models that are driven aggressively on the street. Featuring a low dusting compound, that offers stopping power even when your brake discs are cold. EBC Redstuff pads are comprised of a ceramic particle-enhanced Kevlar-fiber based braking compound. If you have previously tried EBC Redstuff (pre-ceramic compound) this material is light years ahead. It lasts longer, brakes better and is overall quieter. Being a hard wearing pad, bed-in times can be as long as 1000 miles and drivers must be patient until the pad takes up the shape of their brake rotor. This is a truly impressive fast road pad for repeated heavy braking.

EBC Yellowstuff brake pads are designed for high friction and strong stopping power, with good heat resistance for heavy braking. In 2021, the formulation was updated to remove copper for environmental compliance, resulting in a longer lifespan but also a longer bedding-in period. As a result, Yellowstuff is no longer recommended for track use and is best suited for high-performance street driving and heavy-duty applications such as towing with trucks and SUVs. For track day use, EBC now recommends Bluestuff pads, which offer quicker bed-in times and better performance in racing conditions while remaining street-friendly.

Brake pads are a common wear item, and regardless of driving habits, will have to be replaced eventually. When your pads wear down, or even become noisy, replace them to keep your vehicle's stopping ability at full potential, to ensure safe driving. These TRW Ultra brake pads feature a copper-free compound and CITEC break-in coating. TRW is one of the largest global brake pad manufacturers in the independent aftermarket and follows the pillars of ZF Aftermarket’s standards of safety, engineering excellence, innovation, partnership, and perfectly tailored product lines. With the new copper-free formulation, the TRW Friction lines has outperformed itself in categories of comfort and lifespan. Reduced noise and dust have brought TRW ahead of competitors, putting the product lines ahead of the California copper-free legislation deadline of 2025, and reaching above the standard of OE. TRW Ultra features CITEC coating to provide additional stopping performance during the break-in period, and shims that are designed per the OE configuration. A siliramic lubrication packet is included in the box to further aid in installation.

Brembo and quality go hand in hand, and we are sure that your replacement pads will perform just like stock. These Brembo replacement pads offer a terrific combination of performance, comfort, reliability, and longevity. NAO Ceramic pads are designed to provide even more comfort while reducing pad wear. Ceramic material provides better braking performance, minimized noise, and a noticeable reduction in brake dust. OE equivalent friction formulations are specifically engineered to enhance braking power, minimize braking distances and provide quiet, safe braking in all road conditions. NAO Pads take this a step further to increase comfort and pad life. Brembo pads are thermal scorched to minimize break in period and reduce fading. Direct molding pressing guarantees maximum product accuracy Underlayer provides noise dampening and reduces heat transfer to the caliper. A reduction is vibration while braking is also achieved with NAO pads. Brembo multi-layer ESE shim ( Elastomer-Steel-Elastomer ) minimizes vibrations and noise.
