Hi

Does anyone know what calipers a 2017 435d convertible would have as standard? I am trying to work out what EBC yellow stuff rear brake pads to order, any advice appreciated. Demon Tweeks have asked for the caliper brand (Brembo, ATE, other?)

Thanks

Neil

Can you provide a picture?

Have you decoded your VIN on Mdecoder to see what spec the car came with and then looked on RealOEM?

Are they blue Brembo calipers like I have on my F31:

Hi

No mention of brake spec on mdecoder, they are definitely not the uprated calipers that you have or are on my wife's m140i. Just boggo calipers.

Thanks

This is the RealOEM catalogue for your car:

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/partgrp?id=8S72-E...

This is the rear brakes diagram for your car:

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=8S72...

Part numbers are there alongside pictures of the braking set up; you need PN: 34216850570 for the pads

As for brake pads; unless you REALLY want EBC; go for better (ATE Ceramics, Ferodo DS2500s or just stick with OEM BMW for brake pads; they're absolutely spot on), more so for rears
