Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the OE number and left-side position before ordering. Compare the existing backing plate dimensions and mounting layout to the listed measurements: 290 mm length, 260 mm width, and 55 mm height. For best results, inspect surrounding brake components for corrosion or wear during replacement, especially on older BMW Z3 and BMW 318ti vehicles.
