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
