BMW Street Brake Pads 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.

Ceramic Brake pads have advanced a great amount and show drastic advantages over traditional metallic and semi-metallic brake pads. Akebono in particular has been producing brake pads for major brands for years and their Euro brake pads have seen use in over 90 models of vehicles as the OE brake pads, ensuring high, consistent quality.

Thanks to Akebono’s pad formulation, you can enjoy many benefits including:

• Reduced Heat Absorption
• Reduced Brake Fade
• Reduced Stopping Distances
• Significantly Less Brake Dust
• Increased Brake Rotor Life

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!)

DD23 Daily Driver brake pads are included in our Lifetime Replacement Program for worry-free motoring.

A high-performance street pad with much-improved braking performance and without the levels of dust from a factory pad. The Street 5.0 pads are perfect for drivers who don’t want an ordinary replacement pad and want something that will hold up during aggressive street driving. The Street 5.0 pads are similar to the established Hawk HPS pads but with more initial bite. While the HPS pads fill the need of a direct replacement OEM-type pad, the Street 5.0 kicks braking performance into the next gear. With the Street 5.0 pads you can expect:

• Better stopping power even when the pads are cold
• Good initial bite (more than on Hawk HPS)
• Excellent resistance to fade during street use
• Moderate dust during normal street driving
• Quiet operation
• Easy on rotors

This pad set includes pads for both Front and Rear brakes.
