Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated Product Line

This rotor is part of the Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated line, which focuses on enhanced durability and corrosion protection. The fully coated surfaces reduce rust formation, extending rotor life and maintaining consistent braking performance. The high carbon content in the gray cast iron material improves thermal conductivity and wear resistance, making it suitable for demanding driving conditions on BMW 3 Series models.

Detailed Product Description

The Pagid 355100652 disc brake rotor is constructed from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent heat dissipation and mechanical strength. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and minimizing the risk of brake fade. The rotor features a fully coated disc and hat finish, providing a protective layer against corrosion and rust, which is critical for maintaining performance over time. With a nominal thickness of 22.00 mm and a discard thickness of 20.40 mm, this rotor meets precise specifications to ensure safe and effective braking. The 5-bolt hole configuration and 260 mm outside diameter are tailored for compatibility with specific BMW models, including the 318i, 318is, 325e, 325es, 325i, 325is, and 325iX.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing vibration or noise
• Upgrading corroded rotors to restore braking efficiency
• Addressing brake fade due to overheating with vented rotor design
• Ensuring proper fitment on BMW 3 Series models listed
• Improving rotor longevity with rust-resistant coating

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Pagid 355100652 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before mounting. Use proper torque specifications for the 5-bolt pattern to avoid warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance. Verify rotor thickness before installation to confirm it is above the discard limit of 20.40 mm. Proper bedding-in of new rotors and pads will help achieve consistent braking response.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Pagid rotors are manufactured to meet OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated line undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure durability and performance. While specific warranty details may vary, these rotors typically come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects, providing confidence in their reliability for BMW 318i, 318is, 325e, 325es, 325i, 325is, and 325iX applications.
