Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Bosch set the right front brake pad for a 2009-2015 Mini Cooper?
Yes. Bosch BP1403 fits the front brakes of the 2009-2013 Mini Cooper, the 2014-2015 Cooper with the L4-1.6L and the 2015 Cooper with the L4-2.0L.
Are Bosch QuietCast brake pads packed with shims and lubricant?
Yes. The box holds four front brake pads with their shims and synthetic lubricant; mounting hardware, abutment clips and a pad wear sensor are not included.
Are these Bosch QuietCast ceramic brake pads?
No. Bosch BP1403 uses a semi-metallic friction material bonded to the backing plate, with 14 mm of friction material on both the inner and outer pads.
How can I tell these front brake pads are wearing thin?
A high-pitched squeal, a grinding noise or a longer stopping distance can mean the friction material on these front pads is low, so have them checked promptly.
Do Bosch QuietCast Premium ceramic brake pads meet 2025 Copper Free legislation?
Yes. Bosch QuietCast Premium formulas, ceramic and semi-metallic alike, are copper-free and meet 2025 Copper Free legislation; this front brake pad uses the semi-metallic formula with an aerospace alloy.
