BMW Brakes & Brake Parts for BMW 3 Series F30 (2012+)

The Hawk DTC (Dynamic Torque Control) compound offers the highest friction coefficient of any Hawk pad. The DTC pads offer extremely high torque with aggressive controllable initial bite, superior release and torque control characteristics. These DTC-60 pads have less torque than the similar DTC-70 pads.

Featuring:

• High Intial Bite
• Consistent torque over all pressures
• Operating Range:400-1600°F; 204-871°C
• High Temp & High Torque
• Provides Superior Pad and Disc Wear
• Excellent Torque Control
• Excellent Modulation and Release Characteristics
• Designed for High Deceleration Rates.

*Not for vehicles with Carbon Ceramic brake rotors.

This is a pair (2) of Genuine BMW REAR brake rotors/discs (345x24mm) for all F30, F31 F32 F33 and F34 models with the BMW M Performance brakes. These will also work on the F3X 328iX/428iX with the optional M Sport Brakes upgrade. These rotors are dimpled and slotted to improve brake pad feel and give the brakes a sportier and more aggressive look. In addition, they are larger that the standard brake rotors to help in braking performance. These are not a direct replacement for the stock brakes and will only work with the M Performance or optional M Sport brake upgrade (328iX/428iX).

The M Performance brakes were a dealer-installed accessory that could have been ordered new or installed after the car was delivered. M Performance brakes were larger than stock and had a colored brake caliper (red, yellow, or orange). The M Sport 328iX/428iX optional brakes (option code S2NHA) were available as an additional option on top of the M Sport trim package but could also be ordered on their own. They featured the same size brakes as the M Performance accessory but with either blue or unfinished grey 2-piston Brembo calipers. Note that the RWD 328i/428i also used a 345mm rear rotor but the AWD has a different parking brake system. See below for a breakdown of the exact exact models and packages these rotors will work on.

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.

Cool Carbon S/T brake pads have excellent stopping power and feel with low levels of dust and noise. Engineered for European cars with high speed development on the Autobahn, Cool Carbon is a sporty compound intended for every day use. The S/T compound has more stopping power and initial bite than stock thanks to a higher coefficient of friction and composite materials. We are big fans of these as a sporty street pad and recommend them for medium-aggressive street driving and autocross.

• High performance for street use
• Excellent friction/torque at various temperatures
• Great feel and modulation
• Low noise
• Low-medium dust
• rotor friendly

Cool Carbon pads are sold as a set for each axle (4 pads total).

This item fits the following BMWs:
2014+ F22 F23 BMW M235i M235iX
