Akebono-EUR1613 Brake Pad Set

I replaced my BMW 328i rear pads with these in no time at all following a YouTube video. The sensor showed 4500 more miles but the dealer measurements said it may not be that long. They quoted $460 to replace just the one worn side. I removed the wheel and it seemed close enough to warrant replacement to be safe. I had a nagging squeak for 3 years and it was getting worse. I put the grease provided on the spots that rub other places as instructed with the box package. The results made me very happy, no squeaking and very smooth braking. The rotors were still smooth so I did not do anything to them. The mileage was 67,000 and this was the first replacement. I actually only changed the passenger side that had the sensor and thin pad remaining since the drivers side was still thick. Of course that side might wear before the new pads and I will need to get the dealer measurements when they do future oil changes and multipoint inspections.

I bought these to replace the OEM pads on our BMW 328i. The OEM pads were BMW's first attempt at a 'dustless' pad and while they started out OK, they eventually suffered from excessive pad transfer to the rotor which caused a pulsation when braking. These pads, on the other hand are a great compromise between stopping power, ease of modulation, and rotor-friendliness. I've been running them on a Mercedes with good luck and they're great on the BMW as well. They do produce some dust but I guess that's the trade off.

Exact fit for our 2013 320i M Sport (F30). They come with the required sensor wire which is an added bonus. Just swapped out the pads and not the rotors. Real smooth, no problems. Not sure about less dust as others have pointed out. I've never had a problem with the OEM's coming from an E90 where there was buckets of dust on the wheels. These were the best price.....even if you try to save $$ getting the entire set front and rear together.

I have been using Akebono breaks for years! I settle for nothing less on my BMW vehicles. These pads are quiet, quality, and produce virtually no break dusk that makes your wheels look dirty and in need of a washing.

Great product. Perfect fit on 2012 328i BMW. Will certainly buy again.

Fit the rear brakes on my 2013 BMW 328i perfectly. Much less dust than the factory pads and amazon was cheaper than other major euro online retailers

Super. Low brake dust for bmw. Better than oem.
