Front Brake Pad for 2011-2017 BMW X3 & More - Bosch BP1561

It is cataloged for the front brakes and is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2017-2021 BMW 230i, 2012-2018 BMW 320i and 2013-2016 BMW 328i. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

• Copper-free friction formula: An advanced aerospace alloy is used in Bosch's patented copper-free ceramic and semi-metallic friction formula, which is compliant with 2025 Copper Free legislation.
• OE-style rubber core shim: Pre-attached multilayer shims with a high-quality bond between rubber and steel, designed for lower noise, increased strength and corrosion resistance.
• PTFE- and rubber-coated hardware: Helps reduce vibration and noise and is designed to keep the pads from binding to the caliper.
• Powder-coated backing plate: Helps prevent rust and corrosion for increased brake pad life.

As with all BOSCH QuietCast brake pads, the friction material is rigorously formulated and tested by Bosch's engineers. A protective transfer layer helps extend pad and rotor life, and synthetic lubricant is included in all applications to help reduce resistance on sliding contact points. Bosch has an OE braking heritage dating back to 1927.

Signs a front disc brake pad set may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, longer stopping distances, or pads worn thin on inspection. For even, balanced braking, replace the pads on both front wheels at the same time and inspect the rotors during the job.
