BMW Street Brake Pads

MINI R55 to R59 EBC Brakes Bluestuff Street and Track Day Brake Pads - Rear DP51931B offer superior braking performance for both aggressive street driving and track use. Designed with the high-friction Bluestuff NDX material, these brake pads are ideal for MINI owners seeking enhanced stopping power and reliability.

• High Friction Material: The Bluestuff NDX composition ensures excellent braking performance with a strong bite from cold and a progressive feel, enhancing both street and track driving experiences.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for aggressive street driving and track day applications, providing effective braking in various conditions.
• Durability: Capable of handling 4-5 track events of 30 laps each after proper bed-in, with an expected lifespan of around 20,000 miles or more in street use.
• Cold Bite: Offers immediate braking performance from cold, allowing for confident stops even under demanding conditions.
• Inspection Recommendations: Regular inspection is advised, particularly every 30 laps on the track, and replace when friction material is down to 3mm or 1/8 inch to prevent brake fade.
• Bed-in Process: Requires a bed-in period of up to 200 miles to achieve optimal performance.

These are the OEM Pagid rear brake pads to fit the front of the specific BMWs listed below. BMW used several different suppliers for their brake pads and we buy direct from their distributors to get you the same pad as originally equipped but at a fraction of the cost of the local BMW dealer. OEM brands include Pagid, Textar, Jurid, Ate, and others. These are the same pads as what originally came on your car but without the expensive BMW logo.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2011+ F10 BMW 528i 528i xDrive 535i 535i xDrive 535d 535d xDrive
2011+ F25 BMW X3 xDrive28i X3 xDrive28d X3 xDrive35i
2015+ F26 BMW X4 xDrive28i X4 xDrive35i

Ensure optimal braking performance for your Mini with these replacement brake pads. If you're experiencing a brake pad warning light on your dash, grinding sounds, or pulsations, it's time for new pads. These replacements for Mini models restore stopping power and safety on the road. Don't forget to visually inspect calipers and rotors when replacing pads, and browse through the "Braking" section of your vehicle page for compatible replacements.

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.

Ceramic Brake pads have advanced a great amount and show drastic advantages over traditional metallic and semi-metallic brake pads. Akebono in particular has been producing brake pads for major brands for years and their Euro brake pads have seen use in over 90 models of vehicles as the OE brake pads, ensuring high, consistent quality.

Thanks to Akebono’s pad formulation, you can enjoy many benefits including:

• Reduced Heat Absorption
• Reduced Brake Fade
• Reduced Stopping Distances
• Significantly Less Brake Dust
• Increased Brake Rotor Life
