Part number 4000-0394-00 is a front disc brake pad set with four pads, integrally molded friction material, and preparation for an electronic pad wear sensor. It is a direct-fit option for select BMW M3, Z3, 525i, 530i, 540i, 740i, 740iL, 750iL, 525iT, 535i, M5, 735i, and 735iL models, as well as Audi 100 and 100 Quattro front brake applications.

Key Features

  • Hybrid friction material for balanced braking response
  • Consistent pedal feel for everyday street use
  • Low dust and low noise characteristics
  • Four-pad set for front disc brake service
  • Prepared for electronic pad wear sensor use
  • Integrally molded friction material attachment
  • Outer and inner pad dimensions: 156.5 mm wide, 63.5 mm high, 19.3 mm thick

Product Line Details

The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pads line is positioned as a value-focused brake pad family with a hybrid compound that simplifies pad selection. For drivers servicing BMW front brakes or Audi front brake systems, this line emphasizes predictable response, reduced brake dust, and quieter operation for routine commuting and general road use.

Detailed Description

Part number 4000-0394-00 is a Dynamite Friction front disc brake pad set engineered for select BMW and Audi vehicles that use the listed pad shape and sensor arrangement. The hybrid friction composition is intended to deliver stable braking characteristics across normal driving conditions, while the pad design supports clean engagement and controlled stopping performance. This makes it a strong match for owners looking for BMW M3 front brake pads, BMW 525i front brake pads, or Audi 100 front brake pads with a focus on everyday drivability.

Vehicle coverage includes 2001-2005 BMW M3 front, 1998-2002 BMW Z3 front, 1995-1999 BMW M3 front, 1989-1995 BMW 525i front, 1994-1995 BMW 530i front, 1994-1995 BMW 540i front, 1993-1994 BMW 740i front, 1993-1994 BMW 740iL front, 1988-1994 BMW 750iL front, 1993 BMW 525iT front, 1989-1993 BMW 535i front, 1991-1993 BMW M5 front, 1987-1992 BMW 735i front, 1988-1992 BMW 735iL front, 1989-1991 Audi 100 front, and 1989 Audi 100 Quattro front.

This part cross-references common OE-style front brake pad applications for the same vehicle coverage; verify the required wear sensor listed for your exact model before installation.

What It Helps Address

  • Brake noise during normal street driving
  • Excess brake dust buildup on wheels
  • Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel
  • Worn front brake pads on BMW and Audi vehicles
  • Front brake service needs on sensor-equipped applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. This pad set is prepared for an electronic wear sensor, but the sensor is not included, and mounting hardware is not included. Use the required sensor listed for the specific vehicle application, such as 341-31016, 341-31005, 341-31001, or 341-73000 where noted in fitment.

For best results, clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points, inspect the brake fluid level, and bed the pads according to standard brake service procedures after installation. Part number 4000-0394-00 is intended for front axle use only.

Quality Assurance

Dynamite Friction positions the DFC 4000 HybriDynamic line as a consistent, value-oriented brake pad solution for daily driving. The hybrid formulation, molded friction attachment, and sensor-ready design support a straightforward replacement choice for compatible BMW and Audi front brake service.
