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

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.

Are you looking for a fast, easy and affordable braking kit that gives you better braking and brake cooling? Then this Z26 Street Warrior Brake Kit from Power Stop is exactly what you need!

The Z26 Street Warrior Brake Kit includes everything you will need in the box including:

Drilled and Slotted Rotors Extreme Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads Stainless steel hardware New guide-pin bushings High temperature brake lubricant The brake pads included in this kit are the Power Stop Extreme carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads. These create much less dust than stock pads and the compound adds severe-duty stopping power without sacrificing everyday drivability. Also, these pads cut down on brake noise, ensuring noise-free stopping no matter where you are.

In addition, the rotors have been upgraded from stock to ensure that they not only hold up to the rigors of performance braking, but also last as long as possible. To do this they started with precision drilling to give the rotors additional cooling. Next was the addition of rounded slots in the friction surface. This allows gas and debris to be easily wiped away, keeping the contact patch on the rotor clear for smooth, safe braking. Finally, the coated the rotor with a Silver Zinc Dichromate plating to add both looks and rust and corrosion prevention to the rotors as well. This prevents the typical rust lip from forming and keeps the rotor from forming any potential weak points after extended use.

Replacement rear brake rotors (330x20) for the 2012+ F30 335i/335xi and F32 435i/435xi. These rotors fit the standard 335/435 brake package (not the optional M Sport upgrade or M Performance brakes).
