BMW 3 Series E93 (2004–2013)

This page is for the E93 convertible, 2004 to 2013, and its listing is weighted towards braking. EBC and Hawk lead a pad list that also has Ferodo, Pagid and PBS, across road, fast-road and race compounds. Discs from EBC, DBA and Hawk come in plain, bi-slotted, dimpled or cross-drilled faces, vented throughout, and Girodisc lists two-piece versions. Fitting the chosen pads with new fluid and, if needed, EBC braided lines is the right first job. Have the tyres and alignment checked by a specialist next; they are not sold here. Suspension is the smaller share: KW, ST and H&R coilovers, lowering springs, spring-and-damper kits, and Bilstein or Koni dampers.
