When replacing your worn out brakes, the market is flooded with performance options. If your BMW doesn't see track time, it's not very practical. Performance pads and rotors tend to result in a lack of bite at low braking temperatures and cause excessive noise in daily driven vehicles that becomes irritating. BMW brakes from the factory are perfectly suited for trips around town, across the country, and even the occasional spirited driving session, delivering smooth, quiet, and long lasting performance. 

Included in this E36 BMW brake package are all of the OEM equivalent components needed to replace your Front & Rear brakes with comfort, reliability, and optimal lifespan in mind.

Brake components in this kit:

• Pagid Front & Rear Brake Pads
• Pagid Front & Rear Rotors
• New Front & Rear Wear Sensors
• Brand New Stainless Steel Set Screws
• Syl-Glide Silicone Brake Lubricant 

Fits the following BMWs:
E36 BMW M3 S52/S50
Z3 BMW M Coupe/Roadster S52/S54

E46 M3 CSL brakes fit the E36 M3 for a bolt-on size enhancement and more stopping power. The CSL rotors are a full 30mm (1.18") larger than the stock E36 M3 discs. The larger rotor puts out more braking torque and can handle more friction and heat than stock. With the special brackets these larger rotors are able to bolt-on to the E36 M3 hub using your original calipers and lines. Simply bolt them on using the new caliper bracket. The E36 M3 CSL upgrade is a moderate upgrade over stock compared to a StopTech or Brembo Big Brake Kit but has lower upfront cost, lower consumable cost (pads and rotors), and has a wide range of pad choices (any brake pad for an E36 M3 or E46 M3 will work).

We offer these brakes with three rotor choices -

• Stoptech (Centric) CSL/ZCP Cross-Drilled and Floating
• Original M3 CSL/ZCP Cross-Drilled and Floating
• ECS 2-piece Cross Drilled and Slotted Floating (pictured)

With more braking torque, the brake bias is changed. For the street, you will notice more stopping power and more "bite" from the front brakes. You may not notice the front brakes are working harder. If you're using this kit on the track it will be more important to balance the brake bias using different front-rear pad compounds. The front brakes will be doing more work than before to slow the car down and you will need to balance that with a more aggressive pad on the rear. You may notice the front tires locking up sooner, especially in wet conditions. Contact us to discuss track pads for your situation.

Wheel fitment: 18" wheels are strongly recommended for brake clearance although some 17" wheels will work (if they clear a BBK they will work with these)

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.

Elevate Your Braking Performance with ECS Exact-Fit Brake Lines

Experience a new level of braking confidence and dependability with ECS Exact-Fit stainless reinforced brake lines. Engineered to provide consistent brake pressure, unmatched durability, and advanced protection against potential failures, these brake lines are your path to a safer and more responsive braking experience.

Key Benefits:

• Enhances braking confidence and dependability
• Resists expansion, ensuring consistent brake pressure
• Provides long-lasting corrosion resistance
• Reinforced with braided stainless steel mesh for superior durability
• Offers a firmer pedal and more direct pedal feel
• Signature red polymer coating for added protection
• Manufactured in compliance with DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) FMVSS 106 standards
• Each line is rigorously tested to 3000 psi for reliability

Factory-style fabric mesh-lined rubber hoses, even when new, tend to expand under the pressure of hard braking, whether it's sudden stops on the highway or aggressive threshold braking on the track. This expansion becomes more prominent as rubber hoses age and are exposed to various weather conditions. ECS Exact-Fit brake lines are engineered with braided stainless steel mesh for superior resistance to expansion. This resistance results in a firmer pedal and a more direct pedal feel, offering you a confident and responsive braking experience.

The signature red polymer coating not only enhances protection from the elements but also guards against abrasion, which is common due to the constant movement of suspension and braking systems.

The best part? ECS Exact-Fit brake lines are meticulously manufactured to meet DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) FMVSS 106 standards. Each line is produced on dedicated DOT-compliant brake equipment and undergoes thorough testing at 3000 psi before being shipped to ensure their reliability and quality.

We stock an extensive inventory of brake-related products, including complete service kits, pads, rotors, shoes, drums, hoses, hard lines, fluids, hardware, and high-temperature lubricants. Whether you're a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast, you'll find everything you need for a top-quality brake service at ECS Tuning.

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:
E32, E34, E36 M3, E46 M3, E39 528i 525i, Z3 M

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.
