BMW 3 Series E90 Brake System

Brake parts for the E90 saloon cover everything from the 316 to the M3, including the xi and xDrive four-wheel-drive models, and the discs show how much the hardware varies. Fronts run from 300 mm on four-cylinder cars through 330 mm to 348 mm on the 335i and 330d, with 360 mm for the M3, and rears from 296 mm to 336 mm.

Read the diameter in each listing against the engine before ordering. After that, the one-piece discs run from plain faces through slotted and dimpled ones to drilled Hawk Talon discs, and a Girodisc floating disc is the step beyond.

For road use the pad list has EBC Ultimax, Greenstuff 2000 and 6000 and Redstuff, Hawk HPS and PC and Ferodo DS Performance. For the circuit there are EBC RP-X, Hawk DTC-70 and ER-1, Ferodo DS UNO and Pagid’s RSL compounds, and EBC braided lines finish the list.
