DuraGo BP946MS Disc Brake Pad Set - Front
Durago BP946MS Disc Brake Pad Set Overview
The DuraGo BP946MS disc brake pad set is engineered for reliable braking performance on select BMW models including the 330Ci, 330i, 330xi, M3, X3, and Z4. Designed with semi-metallic friction material and slotted surfaces, these pads provide consistent stopping power and heat dissipation for everyday driving conditions.
- Semi-metallic friction material for balanced performance and durability
- Slotted design to reduce brake fade and improve heat dissipation
- Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
- Includes pad shims for quieter operation
- Iron backing plates bonded to friction material for structural integrity
Technical Specifications and Features
The DuraGo BP946MS brake pads feature an outer and inner pad friction material thickness of 13.8 mm (0.54 inches) and an overall pad thickness of 19.4 mm (0.76 inches). Both inner and outer pads have a height of 63.8 mm (2.51 inches) and widths of 156.5 mm (6.16 inches) and 155.2 mm (6.11 inches) respectively. The pads are constructed with iron backing plates measuring 5.6 mm (0.22 inches) thick, bonded securely to the semi-metallic friction material. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation, while chamfered edges help reduce brake noise and improve pad bedding. Pad wear sensors and mounting hardware are not included, but pad shims are supplied to ensure proper fit and quieter braking.
Compatible BMW Models and Applications
This disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of BMW vehicles, specifically the 330Ci, 330i, 330xi, M3, X3, and Z4 models. The DuraGo BP946MS is designed to meet the braking requirements of these vehicles, providing consistent stopping power and reliable performance under normal driving conditions.
- Replacement for worn or damaged brake pads on BMW 330Ci, 330i, 330xi, M3, X3, and Z4
- Addresses brake noise and vibration issues with chamfered edges and included shims
- Helps reduce brake fade during extended use with slotted pad design

- Suitable for regular grade braking applications
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the DuraGo BP946MS brake pads, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris. Since mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace as necessary. Properly install the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. Check brake fluid levels and bleed the brake system if needed after installation. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications and safety procedures during installation.
