BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW E46 M3 S54 (1999-2005)

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.

Upgrade your BMW's braking performance with the Power Stop Z26 Street Warrior Brake Kit.

This kit provides fast, easy, and affordable braking solutions for improved braking and brake cooling.

• Includes drilled and slotted rotors for enhanced cooling
• Features Extreme Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads for less dust and severe-duty stopping power
• Comes with stainless steel hardware and new guide-pin bushings for durability
• High-temperature brake lubricant ensures smooth operation
• Upgraded rotors with precision drilling and rounded slots for gas and debris removal
• Silver Zinc Dichromate plating prevents rust and corrosion for long-lasting performance

The latest in the Yellow line takes all of the RSL29 characteristics and adds a bit more aggressive behavior. Friction levels go up for more initial bite and better fade resistance. Modulation and release stays close to RSL29 levels. Pad and rotor wear is a little more than on the previous Yellows but still within reasonable levels and the RSL1 is still considered an extended endurance pad. Its development stemming from GT classes at Le Mans and Nürburgring.

Since Pagid pads tend to "out-gas" we recommend using these pads with a new gas-slotted or cross-drilled rotor for the best performance. Pagid brake pads are not compatible with previously used rotors, especially if used with a carbon or Kevlar based race pad.

Having a low profile floor jack can be a great asset for your garage, perfect for those with a lowered car as well as those that aren't. Most car owners with a lowered vehicle have been in the position of their floor jack not making the clearance needed, the low profile jack is the answer. 

• Dual pump pistons raises the saddle to maximum height in only 5 pump strokes, with minimum effort.
• Special low profile thick frame side plates and reinforced lift arm for added strength and use.
• Wide track front wheels help provide chassis torsion control and durability.
• Angular positioned pump pistons provide maximum effective pump stroke even when jack is completely under the vehicle.
• Ball bearing mounted rear swivel caster wheels for easy maneuverability.
• Side mounted handles for carrying and easy positioning.
• Overload and bypass safety valve prevents jack overload and over extension.
• Two piece quick release padded handle for storage or transport.
