BMW Parking Brake Backing Plate - Genuine BMW 34216792243

Product Information

Brake dust can build up on the brake caliper and rotor, which can cause uneven braking, vibration, and noise. While a small amount of brake dust is normal, excessive brake dust can limit braking performance. Brake dust shields are used to help prevent excessive duct build in the supporting brake and suspension components surrounding the wheel hub. Brake dust shields also help protect the brake rotors, calipers, and pads from environmental elements that can affect braking performance.

• Noise: Scrapping or dragging coming from brake dust shield failure and damage to the rotor
• Exposure and Rust: Excessive build-up of rust along the hub surface, caliper, and brake disc
• Build Up: Build up of dust coming from friction material around the spindle

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
