BMW Street Brake Pads for BMW E36 (1992-1998) M3

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

If it's time to replace your pads, then you should also replace your rotors to get maximum braking performance. With a new pad and rotor set on your vehicle, stopping will be completely restored. Enjoy the stopping you liked when you first obtained your vehicle. With new pads and rotors, you need to make sure they are bedded and mated with each other. To be sure they are, follow the brake pad bedding procedure on ECS Tuning's site.
