Performance Details

Built for the BMW i8 front brake position, part number 1003-1609AM is engineered for smooth, predictable stopping with low dust and reduced noise. The application-specific friction formula helps maintain even pedal feel across a wide temperature range, while the semi-metallic compound supports fade-resistant braking during repeated stops. This front brake pad set is a direct-fit service part for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 BMW i8 models.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Squealing or brake noise from worn front pads
• Reduced stopping response from depleted friction material
• Uneven pedal feel during normal braking
• Excess brake dust buildup from aging pads
• Brake fade during repeated stop-and-go driving

Installation Notes

Verify front axle fitment before installation on your BMW i8. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and pad contact surfaces for wear or damage before replacing pads. Because mounting hardware and brake lubricant are not listed as included, confirm whether those service items are needed separately for your brake job. Part number 1003-1609AM is intended for the front position only.
