Engineered for Australian operating conditions, these BMW Genuine Front Brake Pads suit BMW 3 Series models built from 2018 to 2021. Nominal friction thickness is 17.5mm, matched to the original caliper piston area and rotor swept face. Underlayer construction insulates the backing plate from heat and protects the caliper piston seals. Chamfered and slotted edges cut brake squeal, while the scorched friction surface shortens the bed-in period to around 200km. Low-dust characteristics help keep alloy wheels cleaner between washes. Rubberised backing shims and mechanical retention keep each pad located in the caliper for quiet, rattle-free operation. The friction compound is a Organic formulation that gives consistent bite from cold and resists fade under towing, hills and stop-start traffic. Every unit is supplied new with a 24 Months warranty against manufacturing defect.
