Product Details

Cardone remanufactures this caliper to OE specifications and replaces wear items with new components to restore proper hydraulic operation. The caliper body is treated with a rust inhibitor and retains the original equipment finish, while the steel piston is built to handle load and resist cracking or pitting. Part number 19-6252 also cross-references BMW 34111163385 for the same application.

Compatible With 1997-2000 BMW 528i, front left, and 2001-2003 BMW 525i, front left. This unloaded caliper is supplied without pads and is intended for brake service where the caliper assembly needs replacement rather than pad-only repair.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

  • Dragging or sticking front brake caliper
  • Brake fluid leakage at the caliper
  • Uneven braking from a worn piston or seal
  • Soft or inconsistent brake pedal caused by caliper wear
  • Corrosion-related caliper seizure on the front left corner

Installation Notes

Use the correct OE-recommended brake fluid for the vehicle and replace fluid from a sealed container. Inspect brake hoses, pads, and the master cylinder during service, and bleed the system thoroughly after installation. For floating caliper mounting pins, silicone grease is used on the pins. Verify bleeder port size M10x1.0 and inlet port size M10x1.0 before installation.

Fits 1997-2000 BMW 528i, front left. Fits 2001-2003 BMW 525i, front left. The Cardone Unloaded Caliper line is built for direct-fit brake service on applications where OE-style replacement and complete hardware support matter.

Quality Assurance

Each caliper is 100% pressure-tested before release to help confirm consistent hydraulic performance. Cardone remanufactures this part using new premium components and earth-friendly processes that reduce energy and raw material use compared with manufacturing a new part.
