Installation Notes

Verify year, model, and front-position fitment before installation. The fitment data lists applications such as Fits 2017-2021 BMW 230i, front; Fits 2017-2020 BMW 430i, front; Fits 2016-2018 BMW 320i, front; and Fits 2014-2018 BMW 328d, front. Several listings note an electronic wear sensor, so confirm the vehicle’s brake warning system and inspect the rotor surface, caliper condition, and sensor routing during service.

For best results, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure and bed-in process after installation.
