DISC BRAKE PAD
Bring smooth, low-dust braking to your European BMW with the HELLA Brakes Low-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set (MPN 355015261). This front-axle set installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2011-2016 BMW 535i and 535i xDrive, 2012-2018 640i, 2012-2016 ActiveHybrid 5, 2013-2019 640i Gran Coupe, 2014-2016 528i, 535d and 535d xDrive, 2014-2018 640i xDrive, and 2014-2019 640i xDrive Gran Coupe (All engines). See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Brake pads clamp against the rotor to generate the friction that slows the wheel; as the friction material wears, signs it may be time to replace them include reduced braking response, squealing, or a wear-indicator warning. HELLA Pagid's low-metallic compound is formulated for the lower hydraulic line pressure typical of European cars and is designed for consistent performance with good heat dissipation and fade stability at higher temperatures.
The set contains 4 pads to service the front axle. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and hardware and whether they may be reused; replacing both front pads together as a matched set is recommended for even, balanced braking.
