The Akebono EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pad Set, part number EUR919, is a rear pad kit formulated around what European car owners ask of their brakes: strong performance, cleanliness and rotor compatibility. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2015 BMW 760Li, 2008-2019 BMW X6 and 2007-2018 BMW X5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Akebono operates technical and R&D centers in Japan, the United States and France. It also has wholly owned and affiliated manufacturing facilities worldwide.
The caliper presses the brake pads against the rotor to create the friction that slows the vehicle. Signs that your rear pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, and friction material that has worn thin. Replacing the pads on both rear wheels at the same time is recommended for even, balanced braking.
