Brake pad info

AlanYoro35i · 03-11-2011, 08:18 PM

Hey guys

I am trying to find the OEM pad info for the 335i , i've been trying to search for data to compare but so far no luck.

I need to know the OEM pads old bite fiction and warmed up bite friction and boiling point.. as im looking for a set of pads for the car to increase in bite.

any can recommend me some that doesn't squeak?

I hear Cool Carbon should be a pretty good replacement pad and it's definitely on my list when I need to change. Mr. 5 & Alpina_B3_Lux has been running them for a while and rate them very highly. I haven't heard them squeal or Marcel complain about it so you should be fine if you apply a generous amount of anti-squeal paste when you fit them.

I just took out EBC red and installed EBC yellow yesterday.

So far no noise and excellent bite from the yellowstuff but I am bedding in pads and discs still (EBC rotors)

The Reds were good but suffered an overheat at track - you can see this now they are on the bench.

+ 1 for Cool Carbon pads. They are great for fast road use.

Put yellow EBC pads on my 335d 3 months ago.

Very pleased so far but I dont give my brakes a hard time tbh & didn't bother bedding them in either. Dust seems reasonable. They did start to squeal but only very very slightly & I think an emergency stop cured that. That was weeks ago & have been fine since. I think you would notice this more though in summer with the window down.

Deffo buy again but as I said I dont give my brakes a hard time.

Getting a lot of pad chatter on the one with the most runout.
Its in spec though and only on one side.
Odd - bit annoying...
