Break pad and rotor replacement
Hi guys
Fyi this is for 328i with standard calipers Im going to tackle a pad and rotor change next week. I found plenty of tutes but nothing specifically for a f30. Is there anything unique about f30 brakes Is there anything about the rear rotor and electronc handbrake i should be aware of when replacing rear rotor. Any diys specifically for the f30 or another model with the same set up i can refer to Thanks |

The BavAuto tutorials on youtube are fine.
The fronts are a cakewalk. As all the tutorials cover. I found I needed to use a breaker bar to break loose the caliper carrier bolts. Supposedly when you replace the rear rotors you need to adjust the parking brake - not a procedure I've attempted.

Finding track pads has been an even bigger ordeal. For street, Hawk has had some great pads - for 330mm you wanna be running the Hawk 5.0. Best pad out there for our setups.

Thanks. Definitely will try non oem pads next time around. Would also love to try a light weight rotor if they exist |

The blanks do and are easy to get a hold of, but the majority of 328i's come with the base 312mm rotor and at least here in the states it seems like most M-Sports are ordered with the upgraded blue brakes with the 340mm calipers. Also I think the 330mm brake package was discarded and all m-sports come with the 340mm rotor/caliper starting in 2015 (I think at least).
