BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW 3 Series E91 (2006-2012)

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 and 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:
2006-09/2007 E9X BMW 325i 328i

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.

EXTRACTOR:

The Schwaben 6.5 Liter Extractor empowers you with swift, hand-operated fluid extraction. Complete with two tubes of varying diameters to suit your unique needs, this system's vacuum release button guarantees seamless operation. Clearing 6.5 Liters (6.8 qts.) of fluid in minutes, it preserves a spotless, oil-free workspace. Its ingeniously designed pour spout ensures mess-free fluid disposal.

Features:

• Stability First: Equipped with a flip-out foot for steady usage, delivering precise extraction.
• Organized Efficiency: Integrated hose storage streamlines your extraction process.
• Perfectly Sized: A 41" main tube (3/8" OD) and two 35" extension tubes (1/4" and 3/16" OD) ensure versatility across applications.
• Beyond Extraction: It doubles as a brake bleeder with the optional ES3248036 Brake Bleeder Hose.
• LIFETIME REPLACEMENT: Like almost all Schwaben tools, this fluid extractor is backed by our lifetime replacement program should anything go wrong!

ADAPTER:

This adapter hose allows a quick and easy suction thru the bleeder screw. This hose has included shut off valve in hose.  This will improve your extractor capabilities and make it even more of an all-in-one tool!

The latest in the Yellow line takes all of the RSL29 characteristics and adds a bit more aggressive behavior. Friction levels go up for more initial bite and better fade resistance. Modulation and release stays close to RSL29 levels. Pad and rotor wear is a little more than on the previous Yellows but still within reasonable levels and the RSL1 is still considered an extended endurance pad. Its development stemming from GT classes at Le Mans and Nürburgring.

Since Pagid pads tend to "out-gas" we recommend using these pads with a new gas-slotted or cross-drilled rotor for the best performance. Pagid brake pads are not compatible with previously used rotors, especially if used with a carbon or Kevlar based race pad.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2008-2013 E82/88 BMW 135i, 128 with BMW Performance caliper conversion
2006-2009 E9X BMW Submodels with BMW Performance caliper conversion
