Both pads have an overall thickness of 16.3 mm (0.64 inches) and are constructed with iron backing plates measuring 5.1 mm (0.2 inches) thick. The slotted design enhances heat management during braking, while chamfered edges help reduce brake noise and vibration. Pad shims are included to ensure a secure fit and further noise reduction. These pads do not include pad wear sensors or mounting hardware, so those components should be inspected or replaced separately if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible BMW Models and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of BMW vehicles, including the 525i, 525xi, 528i, 528i xDrive, 528xi, 530i, 530xi, 535i xDrive, 535xi, X5, and X6 models.
