BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

This caliper bushing kit will eliminate flex caused by weak rubber caliper bushings. As the brake pedal is pressed the caliper grabs the rotor and twists on its mounting bushings. The rubber bushings allow the caliper to deflect and twist which affects pedal feel and results in uneven pad wear. These solid brass bushings will not twist or deflect so your calipers can squeeze the pads evenly on both sides of the rotor (sort of like what multi-piston big brakes do). This will give you much longer pad life and a more consistent pedal feel. This is the most complete kit we have ever sold with stainless steel caliper slide bolts, o-rings, and new dust boots. Unlike other kits, these bushings are pressed into the caliper and will not shift or slide on their own.

Installation is straightforward: remove the old rubber bushings and press in the new brass bushings (we recommend special tool 003326ECS03). High temp caliper grease or anti-seize is required. The new bushings include an inner o-ring that helps trap grease on the slide bolt, reducing friction and wear.

For most models with floating calipers. Fits the rear of E90/2 and E60, but for the front you'll need the kit found here. Does not fit E30 models with Girling calipers, but is compatible with Ate calipers. 

These 2-piece floating rotors help dissipate heat better than a standard cast iron rotor and are also lighter for less unsprung weight. Managing heat in the brake system is vital to braking performance, especially on the track or when driven hard. It's why your brake rotors have internal vanes that vent heat as the rotor spins. These 2-piece ECS rotors feature an outer cast iron friction surface ring that is separate from the aluminum center hat. This allows better airflow through the vanes and for the friction ring can expand as it gets hot. The rotors are also cross-drilled for better ventilation and slotted to improve brake pad performance.

ECS 2-Piece Rotors feature:

• Aluminum hats for light weight
• Heat-treated cast iron friction rings
• 2-piece assembly improves brake cooling
• Anti-corrosion coating on non-friction surfaces and hard anodizing on rotor hat

These are the same size as the stock rotors so your stock caliper and mounting bracket will fit and there will be no clearance issues with your wheels or to other components. Stainless steel rotor retaining screws are included. You can use these with any brake pad.

Price is for the pair of brake rotors.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 BMW M3 with CSL or ZCP brakes
2006-2008 E85 E86 BMW Z4 M Coupe Z4 M Roadster

ECS Tuning designed these caliper brackets to allow you to upgrade to CSL rotors without the pricetag of OEM part #34112282619, they are functionally the same part.

These will work with any 345x28mm E46 M3 rotor, and you do not need to upgrade from stock brake lines, calipers, or pads - they will all work with this bracket. Allows you to upgrade the size of your rotors!

This kit includes a carrier for the left and right side of your vehicle, allowing you to convert to ZCP/CSL rotors for half the price of the OEM carriers!

BMW E46 M3 E39 M5 Rear Brake Rotors - Pair (328x20) are engineered to meet the exact specifications of the original equipment, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Is your BMW showing signs of grinding, pulsating, or reduced stopping power? It might be time to replace your rotors. Ensure optimal braking performance by checking and replacing worn components, including pads and calipers. Keep your braking system in prime condition for safe driving. Explore the Brake Pad Bedding DIY guide below for maximum efficiency from your pads and rotors.

Benefits:

• Improved braking performance
• Enhanced safety while driving
• Increased longevity of braking components

BMW E46 Rear Brake Rotors - Pair (320x22) are the ideal stock replacement rotors for your BMW. Designed to fit directly into the stock location, these high-quality rotors are manufactured by Zimmermann, ensuring reliable performance and ease of installation. These rotors deliver the same exceptional braking performance as the original parts, restoring your vehicle's stopping power while offering significant savings over dealership and local auto parts store prices.

To achieve maximum braking performance, it's recommended to replace both the brake pads and rotors together. Properly bedding the new brake pads and rotors will ensure optimal performance and longevity, so be sure to follow the brake pad bedding procedure.

• Manufactured by Zimmermann for OEM-quality performance
• Restores original braking power for safer driving
• Significant savings compared to dealership prices
• Ideal for use with new brake pads for optimal performance

These are the OEM brake pads to fit the specific BMWs listed below. BMW used several different suppliers for their brake pads and we buy direct from their distributors to get you the same pad as originally equipped but at a fraction of the cost of the local BMW dealer. OEM brands include Pagid, Textar, Jurid, Ate, and others. These are the same pads as what originally came on your car but without the expensive BMW logo.

This set includes pads for both the front and rear brakes.
