Product Information

Disc Brake Pad Set

Let's face it, brakes pads hands down are the most important components of our vehicle. Our brake pads allow us to stop our vehicles with a simple push of a brake pedal. Unfortunately they don't last forever and are considered to be a major wear item which must be replaced before they completely wear out and damage the brake rotor costing you more in repairs. Brake pads can be made of several materials such as a semi-metallic compound, ceramic compound, or organic. Brake pads are suggested to be checked frequently during oil changes or routine services for wear to ensure you have at least the minimum pad thickness as stated by the car manufacturer.

Disc Brake Pad Set Failure Symptoms
  • Pulsating
  • Grinding
  • Squeaking
  • Rotor Glazing
  • Rotor Hot spots
  • A noticeable lip on the rotors outer edge.

Bosch QuietCast Pads
The brake pads installed easily and work great. They were delivered on time and they are a great set of brake pads for my 2006 BMW X5. The only issue that I ran into and why I am not giving 5 Stars is that the Brake Sensor Cable is too short and can't be used as it can't run from where it connects to the caliper. It is about 6 inches too short.

Brake pad sensor
I just installed these brake pad in my 2005 BMWw X5 3.0 and the brake pad sensor wire included in this kit seems to be too short. Brake pads fit fine, but possibly wrong sensor included in the kit.

Noisy
Satisfied with the performance of these but just like the other reviewer I have really bad squealing with these as it comes to a stop. Dust is ok. Initial bite is average and overall performance is average. Nothing particularly exciting. But they are extremely noisy. As in everyone is looking at you because it's so loud. Maybe just a bad batch. I'll try something else next time. Considering switching them out soon even though I'm not even 50% through the pads' useful life.

Bosch Front sensor
Everything fits except front brake sensor too short. It's just an inconvenience For Bosch to have that sensor including in there package. Now I have around with the brake light in my dash which annoys me.

02 X5 3.0
NOTE: The 5-star rating is for FCP It's to early to rate BP681 The inner pad (piston side) plate ear that rides on the ledge of the caliper is missing. The sensor is about 6 inches short and can't reach the other end. Washed x5, front pads started to squeal, With that inner pad piece being different and the sensor being too short I had to recheck my order through FCP to see if I may have purchased the wrong front pad set. But I didn't. I hope they break-in soon or they will be replaced.

Sensor cable
Pads set is great however the sensor is about 6 inches short and can't reach the other end to hook up.

Bosch Brake Pads
Can't go wrong with Bosch parts on any BMW. Full front set with wear sensor already installed, and to my surprise two brand new anti rattle springs in the box!
