The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges reduce noise and vibration, while the included pad shims further assist in noise reduction and proper pad alignment. The friction material is bonded securely to iron backing plates with a thickness of 5.7 mm (0.22 inches), providing structural integrity and resistance to warping. These pads do not include pad wear sensors or mounting hardware, so ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s existing components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible BMW Models and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake pad set is compatible with a wide range of BMW vehicles, including the 1 Series M, 130i, 3 Series models such as 323i, 328i, 335i, and M3, as well as 5 Series models like 525i, 528i, 530i, 535i, and 7 Series models including 745i and 750i.
