Product Details

The DFC 4000 HybriDynamic Brake Pads are engineered as a hybrid compound disc pad set for front axle applications. This formulation is aimed at delivering steady pedal feel and reliable brake response while keeping dust and noise levels controlled for everyday commuting. Part number 4000-0946-00 is prepared for electronic wear sensor use, and the pad set is designed for vehicles that use a sensor-equipped front brake system.

Compatible With BMW front brake applications including 2004-2010 BMW X3, 2006-2008 BMW Z4, 2001-2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW M3, 2001-2005 BMW 330i, and 2001-2005 BMW 330xi. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Brake noise during everyday driving
  • Excessive brake dust buildup on wheels
  • Uneven or inconsistent pedal feel
  • Reduced brake response from worn front pads
  • Front brake service needs on BMW X3, Z4, 330Ci, M3, 330i, and 330xi models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment before installation and confirm the required wear sensor for your vehicle: 341-31028 for 2004-2010 BMW X3, 341-31034 for 2006-2008 BMW Z4, and 341-31016 for 2001-2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW M3, 2001-2005 BMW 330i, and 2001-2005 BMW 330xi. Mounting hardware is not listed as included, so inspect existing hardware and replace worn components as needed during brake service. Clean the caliper bracket and rotor contact points, then bed the pads according to the brake system procedure used for your vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Dynamite Friction positions the DFC 4000 HybriDynamic line around consistent braking performance, controlled dust, and reduced noise for daily driving. The pad dimensions, sensor preparation, and vehicle-specific fitment details support accurate selection for the listed BMW front brake applications.
