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

When replacing your worn out brakes, the market is flooded with performance options. If your BMW doesn't see track time, it's not very practical. Performance pads and rotors tend to result in a lack of bite at low braking temperatures and cause excessive noise in daily driven vehicles that becomes irritating. BMW brakes from the factory are perfectly suited for trips around town, across the country, and even the occasional spirited driving session, delivering smooth, quiet, and long lasting performance. 

Included in this E46 BMW brake package are all of the OEM equivalent components needed to replace your Front and Rear brakes with comfort, reliability, and optimal lifespan in mind.

Brake components in this kit:

• Pagid OEM Front & Rear Brake Pads
• Zimmerman Front & Rear Rotors
• New Front & Rear Wear Sensors
• Brand New Stainless Steel Set Screws
• Syl-Glide Silicone Brake Lubricant 

Fits the following BMWs:
1999-2006 E46 BMW 330i, 330Ci, 330xi

135/BMW Performance brakes for your E36 and E46! This kit uses the factory BMW Performance Brembo 6-piston calipers (same as 135i) with E46 330-sized rotors (325x25mm / 12.8") for a bolt on braking upgrade. Everything comes complete - 6-piston calipers, rotors, custom caliper bracket, brake lines, and a pad sensor. Choose your preferred brake fluid and brake pads below (or call us for a recommendation).

Brake rotor options -

• OEM Pagid Coated - blank rotors with anti-corrosion coating
• Turner/Centric cross-drilled
• Turner/Centric slotted
• Turner/Cetnric cross-drilled & slotted
• BMW Peformance floating and cross-drilled
• ECS 2-piece floating with cross-drilled and slotted

Brake pad options -

• OEM Textar (same as stock 135i)
• Centric Posi-Quiet - nearly dust-free (Turner preferred!)
• Hawk Ceramic nearly dust-free
• Hawk HPS performance
• StopTech performance

This is a direct fit to all E36 and E46 (not E46 M3) and comes with a lot more braking power than standard (especially on non-M E36). Consequently there will be more front brake bias - the front brakes have more bite than before. During normal street driving all you will notice is that the brakes feel stronger. For track driving we recommend a more aggressive rear pad to balance the brake bias or a StopTech or Brembo big brake kit that has been properly engineered for the chassis (not a retrofit).

Requires 17" wheels and wheel spacers may be required depending on wheel spoke design. E46 Style 68 wheels shown are used with 5mm spacer.

E46 M3 Front Brake rotors/discs (Left and Right Pair) with anti-corrosion coating. This pair of rotors includes both left and right discs, replacing BMW part numbers 34112229529 and 34112229530. These are the standard US-spec rotors, as originally fitted to the 2001-2006 US market M3 (Euro rotors were 2-piece and cross-drilled). These are sold as a pair and the price includes one left front brake disc (commonly listed as BMW part # 34-11-2-229-529 / 34112229529) and one right front brake disc (commonly listed as BMW part # 34-11-2-229-530 (34112229530).

What sets these rotors apart from OE BMW or OEM parts is the corrosion-resistant coating that is applied to the rotor-hat and inner vanes. This super-durable coating prevents rust, ruining the appearance of your car. Aftermarket brake discs do not usually have any coating on them, exposing them to rust and corrosion as soon as they are put on the car. These premium rotors, manufactured by Meyle, are the equal or better than any OEM or even OE BMW part but at a much more attractive price!
