BMW Brake Pads

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.

From years of European automotive experience, the enthusiasts at ECS Tuning have developed a strong understanding of what it takes to produce a quality high-performance brake pad. After thousands of miles and many different pad compounds, they've landed on the ideal blend for the new EP24 "Enthusiast Performance" brake pad! If you're looking for a streetable, track-capable, performance brake pad, look no further than the ECS EP24!

Features & Benefits:

Strong stopping power - Increased coefficient of friction offers satisfying stopping power when cold (a necessity for a street pad!) and even more G-force-inducing power when they warm up. With cold and warm friction comparable to Hawk HPS (and higher than many other street pads) the stopping experience with the EP24 pad is impressive for street-driven vehicles on streetable tires. Positive initial bite - Race pads have the reputation of acting like an on/off switch, which is a no-go for a pad for a street application. The EP24 offers OE-level initial bite for low-stress braking in stop-and-go situations. Reasonable dust - Race pads utilize a high metallic composition. Pads that use high amounts of metal not only dust terribly, but also will bake onto wheels with high temperatures and are a bear to clean. This is not the case with these performance street pads. Now using these pads on most of our shop cars, we’ve found over time that dust is comparable to factory pads in most applications (with greatly improved braking performance). Quiet braking - It’s not a race pad, so it shouldn’t squeal like one. While not as quiet as our ceramic DD23 pad, you’ll still be able to drive your spouse to dinner. Long life - This should be an obvious one. Even in a performance pad, your daily driver pads should last and last, so that was key in selecting our ideal compound. This compound wears slower and is kinder to rotors than two of the top competitors.

EP24 "Enthusiast Performance" brake pads are included in our Lifetime Replacement Program for worry-free motoring.

Brake pad wear sensor should be replaced at ever brake service, even if not worn down. This ensures the sensor is as new as possible and less likely to fail due to built up corrosion.

Fits the following BMWs:
E12 E23 E24 - Front and Rear
E21 320i - Front
E28 - Rear

MINI F55 to F57 Brake Pad Sensor - Front

The MINI F55 to F57 Brake Pad Sensor - Front acts as a critical wear indicator for your brake pads. This sensor alerts drivers when the brake pads are worn down and need replacement, helping to prevent potential damage and ensure safety. When the brake pads deteriorate, the sensor wears down and eventually triggers a warning light, indicating that the sensor must be replaced.

• Essential Wear Indicator: Alerts drivers when brake pads are worn and need replacement.
• Prevents Damage: Helps prevent potential brake system damage by providing early warnings.
• Maintenance Reminder: Triggers a warning light when brake pad replacement is needed.
• Replacement Recommendation: Should be replaced each time brake pads are replaced.
• Single Sensor Required: One sensor is needed for the front brake system.

BMW F01 F90 G11 G3X Rear Brake Pad Wear Sensor is crucial for monitoring brake pad wear and ensuring optimal braking performance. This sensor alerts the dashboard when brake pads are nearing the end of their lifespan, helping to maintain the condition of your rotors and prevent excessive wear.

• Essential Monitoring: Sends alerts to the dashboard when brake pads are worn, ensuring timely maintenance and avoiding damage to rotors.
• Preventive Maintenance: Helps avoid premature brake pad wear and maintains braking efficiency by notifying drivers when it's time for replacement.
• Perfect Match: Designed to work seamlessly with new brake pads, ensuring accurate wear monitoring and consistent braking performance.
• Replacement Ready: Ideal for vehicles where brake pads do not come with sensors, ensuring all components are replaced for optimal braking performance.

Replacing your brake pads and sensors together ensures your braking system performs like new.
