BMW Street Brake Pads for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

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

Bluestuff serves dual purposes as an exceptional fast street pad for premium fast street use and an entry-level trackday (lapping) pad. It’s truly a pleasure to drive with them. After just a few miles, these pads demonstrate their pedigree as the most advanced blend and highest-performing street blend ever produced by EBC. It’s a genuine high-end fast street and track pad. However, due to Bluestuff having excellent cold friction and being very controllable, this compound has quickly become the brake pad of choice for performance road car drivers in USA and Asia markets where R90 homologation does not apply. For customers with experience of EBC’s widely acclaimed Yellowstuff material, Bluestuff boasts a similar friction profile but with a usefully higher friction coefficient across the now larger working range, feeling much like you’d imagine Yellowstuff to feel after a double hit of espresso. Bluestuff has the added benefit of much faster bed in time and has a high friction coefficient without feeling grabby, taking things up a notch from EBC’s Yellowstuff material by bringing superb pedal modulation to a track pad with even greater fade resistance. For customers seeking the ultimate road/track pad with even greater levels of performance, check out EBC’s range of RP-1 and RP-X race brake pads which deliver faster bed in and higher temperature fade resistance. EBC’s track and race materials are exceptionally kind on brake discs, making them especially desirable for modern performance cars that feature complex and hugely expensive 2-piece brake disc systems from the factory. Customers report that EBC track and race pads are far kinder to brake discs than comparable granite-like semi-metallic pads, which may last longer but take the rotors with them.

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.

If you are simply looking to restore factory braking performance, these are the brake pads for you. They cost less than OEM, and offer factory performance. When replacing pads, you should also replace your brake rotors to ensure maximum braking performance. 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.
