FAQ

This is a DFC Active Performance front brake pad and hardware kit for the BMW applications listed in the fitment table.

The verified applications include selected 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, M2, M3, and M4 vehicles. Match the exact year, model, and submodel before ordering.

This kit is for the front position only. It is not a rear axle application.

No. Compatibility is limited to the exact year, model, and submodel rows shown in the fitment table. Do not infer compatibility for unlisted applications.

The friction material is low metallic, with a high friction coefficient and low compressibility for responsive braking control.

The package includes one front axle set of four brake pads and one application hardware kit. A wear sensor is not included.

No. The pads are prepared for an electronic wear sensor, but the sensor itself is not included in the package.

Compare the vehicle year, BMW model, submodel, front position, UPC, and exact product identification with the fitment and specifications sections.

Brake service requires correct caliper handling, hardware installation, torque procedures, and post service checks. Use a qualified technician if you do not have the required tools and experience.

Follow the vehicle manufacturer and installer guidance for bedding new pads. Avoid severe braking until the friction surfaces have been properly conditioned, then confirm pedal feel before normal use.

Review the current DFC warranty terms for coverage, installation requirements, exclusions, and claim procedures. Warranty terms can depend on proper installation and normal use.

Installation Instructions

1. Confirm the vehicle year, BMW model, submodel, and front position against the fitment table. Confirm the exact product identification for 1115-1609-01.
2. Review the vehicle service manual and gather approved support stands, suitable hand tools, eye protection, and brake cleaning supplies.
3. Park on a stable surface, secure the vehicle, loosen the wheel fasteners, and support the vehicle according to the service manual.
4. Remove the front wheel and brake caliper components as directed by the vehicle service manual.
5. Compare the new pads and supplied application hardware with the removed parts before completing disassembly.
6. Inspect the rotor, caliper, guide pins, piston, hoses, wear sensor provision, and mounting surfaces for wear or damage.
7. Clean approved contact areas and install the pads and application hardware in the correct front position.
8. Reinstall the caliper and wheel, then tighten all fasteners and wheel hardware to vehicle manufacturer specifications.
9. Press the brake pedal several times until a firm pedal is established before moving the vehicle.
10. Complete the recommended bedding procedure in a safe location and recheck braking operation at low speed.
