Built for European rear brakes, the Dynamic Friction Company DFC EURO 5000 ceramic brake pads, part number 1600-0683-00, combine fade resistance with low dust. They fit many vehicles, among them the 2004-2010 BMW X3, 2006-2008 BMW Z4 and 1997-2001 BMW 740i. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
This rear disc brake pad set clamps against the rotor when you apply the brakes, creating the friction that slows the vehicle. Dynamic Friction developed the EURO 5000 ceramic formulation for European applications.
Rear pads may need replacing if you notice squealing or grinding from the rear brakes, a brake wear warning on the dash, or longer stopping distances. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and check the rotors at the same time. Replacing the pads on both rear wheels together is recommended for even, balanced braking.
