BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW 5 Series F10 (2011-2016)

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.

BMW F10 Front Brake Rotors - Pair (330x24) are essential for maintaining optimal braking performance in your BMW. If you notice pulsating brakes, grinding noises, or ridges forming on your rotors, it’s crucial to replace them to ensure safety and performance. This premium pair of rotors is designed for durability and reliability, providing a significant upgrade over worn-out components. When replacing brake rotors, it’s also advisable to inspect calipers, pads, and brake lines for any signs of wear to ensure a comprehensive brake job.

• High-quality construction for superior braking performance
• Direct replacement for worn or damaged rotors, improving safety
• Designed to resist warping and wear, enhancing longevity
• Compatible with a wide range of BMW F10 models
• Ideal for both daily drivers and performance enthusiasts

Ensure your BMW's optimal braking performance by replacing worn brake rotors. If you notice pulsating brakes, grinding, or rotor ridges, it's time for a replacement. During a brake job, inspect the calipers, pads, and brake lines for wear indications. Our collection includes a diverse range of brake pads suitable for daily driving or performance-oriented motorists, catering to your specific needs.

Key Benefits:

• Improved braking performance
• Comprehensive brake replacement options
• Suitable for daily driving and performance applications

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

Fits the following BMWs:
F07/10 BMW 550i M5 (rwd and xDrive)
F06/12/13 BMW 640i 650i M6 (rwd and xDrive)
