Part number 104.12670 is a direct-fit rear brake pad solution for BMW 328i rear brake pad replacement, BMW X1 rear brake pad service, and other listed BMW rear applications.

This part cross-references Wagner Brake MX1267 and Raybestos Brakes EHT1171 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Brake squeal from worn or vibration-prone rear pads
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Reduced braking performance from aged rear brake pads
• Noise during light or moderate braking
• Longer break-in time after brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, model, and brake configuration before installation. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and guide pins during service, and replace any worn components as needed. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points before installing the new pads, then follow the recommended bedding procedure to help the friction material seat properly. Confirm sensor preparation and hardware requirements for the specific vehicle before assembly.
