BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW X Series E84 (2013-2015)

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 system with a pair of budget-friendly Zimmerman brake rotors. These quality replacements offer stock-like performance, ensuring safety and reliability without compromising on quality. Designed to combat issues like excessive rust and warping, these rotors guarantee smooth braking, eliminating vibrations and steering wheel shudders often associated with damaged rotors. Consider pairing them with ECS Tuning's diverse selection of stock replacement or performance brake pads to restore or enhance your braking system's performance.

• Budget-friendly replacement rotors without compromising quality
• Resistant to excessive rust and warping for improved durability
• Ensures smooth braking, eliminating vibrations and steering wheel shudders
• Compatible with ECS Tuning's wide variety of replacement and performance brake pads

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.

Positive initial bite - You should feel your brakes engage as you press the pedal, but it should not feel like an on/off switch! Ceramic compounds frequently lack the confidence-inspiring engagement of a healthy initial bite, but the semi-metallic DD23 does not while giving your passengers a comfortable ride in stop-and-go traffic. The enthusiasts at ECS have hit a good balance here.

Low-dust (but not no-dust) - Some factory-installed pads are eye-poppingly dusty, which is a no-go for any car enthusiast. While some would instead opt for a ceramic pad for its lighter-colored dust, this dust is just as likely to show up on darker-colored calipers and wheels. ECS has improved on the “dust factor” as a good compromise, which will be a win for anyone who doesn’t detail daily (or anyone who does, too!)
