BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW 3 Series E90 (2006-2011)

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 E9X BMW brake package are all of the OEM equivalent components needed to replace your Front & Rear brakes with comfort, reliability, and optimal lifespan in mind.

Brake components in this kit:

• Akebono Euro 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:
2006+ E9X BMW 335i/is/xi/d
2012-2015 E84 BMW X1 xDrive35i

As an E9X M3 owner, do you feel short-changed in the braking department? The next gen M3/M4 got serious Brembo calipers. With a special bracket the front 6-piston calipers can fit the E9X M3 for a bolt-on caliper and rotor upgrade. The rotors in this kit are 382x36mm - 22mm larger and 6mm thicker than the stock E9X rotor (and slightly bigger than the stock M3/M4 disc). The larger front rotors will help manage and dissipate heat better than the smaller stock rotors. And a larger rotor and caliper mean stronger brakes. Testing has shown the brake bias is very close to a stock E9X M3. Upgraded rear rotors are also included to work with the stock rear calipers. These are the blue M3/M4 calipers with the ///M logo.

Front brake specs:

• 382x36mm 2-piece floating rotors - 50% larger surface area and more cooling vanes
• 6-piston Brembo caliper (blue)
• Custom brake caliper bracket to fit the E9X M3 hub
• Multiple pad options
• Stainless brake lines

Rear brake specs:

• 350x24 2-piece floating rotors (same size as stock)
• re-use stock calipers
• Multiple pad options
• Stainless brake lines

Wheel fitment notes:

• 19" wheels required 
• Wheel spacers may also be required depending on wheel design
• Slight bending of front dust shields is requried

F30 M Performance brakes for your E9X 325/328/330/335! This kit uses the factory M Performance front and rear Brembo multi-piston calipers and rotors for a bolt on braking upgrade. Everything comes complete -

The ECS M Performance Big Brake Kit includes:

• Orange 4 Piston Brembo front calipers from the F3X M Performance brake kit 
• Orange 2 Piston Brembo rear calipers from the F3X M Performance brake kit (custom machined, with brackets)
• Front 370x30mm ECS 2-piece rotors
• Rear 350x24mm ECS 2-piece rotors
• ECS Exact-Fit Stainless Steel Brake Lines
• Genuine BMW front & rear brake pad set (use any M Performance - fitment brake pad)
• Class 12.9 mounting hardware, brake fluid, pad wear sensors

Performance:

• Bias - 63.3% front, 36.7% rear – optimally balanced for the e9x chassis
• Brake torque – 4% increase results in more responsive braking system
• Pedal feel – firmer pedal feel for improved modulation
• Improved cooling & heat management - brake deeper, harder, with less fade

More on ECS Exact-Fit Stainless Steel Brake Lines (the same tried-and-true style you've probably been running for years):

• Independently tested for DOT compliance to the FMVSS 571.106 standard for brake lines
• Volumetric expansion verified at 17% of the maximum allowable for low expansion hose at 1500 psi, with a burst strength of nearly 2.5x the required minimum.
• Tensile pull strength of nearly double the minimum requirement. Whip resistance of over double the required test limit. Passes 24hr salt spray test with flying colors 24hr salt spray test - no white or red rust.
• Exceptional resistance to expansion under extreme line pressure results in improved pedal feel and braking response. Each line quality inspected and pressure tested to 3000psi.

More on ECS 2 piece Cross-Drilled/Slotted Rotors: 

• Weight savings: save 2 lbs per axle versus the genuine BMW rotor.
• Increased thermal capacity and Improved cooling:  
  • Heat convection (due to air flow) is considered the most important mode of heat dissipation in rotor design. The key to this is adequate air flow through the rotor.
  • ECS 2-Piece rotors feature side-specific directionally curved vanes which pump air through the rotor at a higher velocity, leading to consistent, rapid cooling on both sides equally.   
  • The air velocity in curved vane rotors is higher than pillar-post rotors and straight vane rotors, and as such curved vane rotors have been shown to cool more effectively.
• Manufacturing quality: Manufactured exclusively for ECS Tuning in an ISO 9001 certified facility
• Testing:  ECS 2-piece rotors have been subjected to thousands of miles of hard street use and to the elements (including snow and salt) for years. They have also been subjected to scientific brutal stress testing on the track and brake dyno, performing countless high-speed stops in quick succession.  We have measured stopping distances and elevated rotor temperatures of over 1000*F for long sustained periods (to the point of rotor bluing and catching brake pads on fire), as well as subjecting rotors to careful post-test inspection for signs of irregular wear, warping, stress cracking, or any other signs of failure.

• ECS rotors have proven themselves to be robust, demonstrating excellent wear characteristics, no warping, no thermal stress cracking, no signs of hot spots and minimal pad glazing.​

This is a direct fit to all non-M E9X and comes with a lot more braking power than standard (especially on non-335 models). You can use any F30 brake pad with these (OE BMW come standard) so there are a lot of street and track pad options. The rear calipers have been especially modified to work with the ECS caliper bracket.

Requires 18" wheels and wheel spacers may be required depending on wheel spoke design.

Upgrade your BMW's braking performance with Hawk Performance Ceramic brake pads.

Designed with decades of motorsports experience, these ceramic brake pads offer superior performance and durability compared to traditional metal compound pads.

• Ceramic material resists heat absorption, preventing brake fade during heavy braking
• Higher coefficient of friction reduces stopping distances and increases stopping power
• Low metal content minimizes brake dust for cleaner wheels
• Drastically reduces brake rotor wear for extended lifespan
• Restores braking performance to like-new condition
• Compatible with a wide range of vehicles for versatile application
