Low-metallic friction, a set of two pads for one axle, and it drops straight into the factory Teves calipers. Direct OE replacement for BMW part 34118847063.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're doing the front brakes on a late F10 or F06 BMW, this is the pad set you want on the bench. The Hella Pagid 355015261 is a front disc brake pad set built as a direct replacement for BMW's own part number 34118847063. Low-metallic friction material, a set of two pads, and it seats into the factory Teves caliper without any fussing or filing. Bolt the caliper back down and go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's talk fitment first, because that's what matters. This set covers the front axle on a wide slice of the BMW 5 Series and 6 Series Gran Coupe. That means the 528i, the 535i and 535i xDrive, the 535d and 535d xDrive, the ActiveHybrid 5, and the 640i and 640i xDrive Gran Coupe, roughly the 2011 through 2016 model years. If your car left the factory with the Teves front brake system and a pad wear sensor, this is the correct pad. Always cross-check your VIN or the number stamped on the old pad backing plate before you order, since BMW ran more than one brake package across these chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow-metallic is a good match for these cars. It's the compound BMW spec'd from the factory, so you get the bite and the pedal feel the car was engineered around. Cold-morning stops feel normal. Highway braking stays consistent when the pads heat up. And because the friction level matches the original, your ABS and stability control behave the way they should, with no surprises the first time you stand on the pedal. These are daily-driver pads for a heavy German sedan, not a track compound, so expect smooth, predictable stopping rather than race-car grab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set is prepared for a pad wear sensor, which is how these BMWs light up the brake warning on the dash. The sensor itself isn't included in the box, so plan to reuse your existing sensor if it's intact or drop in a fresh one while you're in there. On a car with this many miles, a new sensor is cheap insurance and saves you pulling the wheel again later. Route it back into the clip on the inner pad and you'll keep your dash warning working exactly as designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is straightforward for anyone who's done a brake job. Two pads per axle side, so this one box does the front. Push the caliper piston back with the bleeder cracked to keep old fluid out of the ABS unit, clean and lube the slide pins, and check the rotor while you're there. If the rotor is grooved, has a lip, or is below the minimum thickness stamped on the hat, replace it. New pads on a tired rotor never bed in right and you'll chase noise for weeks. A little brake grease on the pad ears and the backing plate contact points keeps things quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth doing right: bed the new pads in. Once everything's buttoned up, find an empty stretch of road and make a series of moderate stops from around 35 mph down to 10, then let the brakes cool without sitting on the pedal at a light. That transfers an even layer of friction material onto the rotor face and gives you full, quiet braking from day one. Skip the bedding step and low-metallic pads can glaze or squeal until they sort themselves out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Any owner or independent shop working on an F10 5 Series or F06 6 Series Gran Coupe who wants an OE-grade front pad without paying dealer counter prices. It's the kind of part you fit once and forget, which is exactly what you want on a car that stops a lot of weight from highway speed. Hella Pagid friction material is engineered to the standard these BMWs left the factory with, so you're not compromising on safety to save money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it's not: this isn't a rear pad set, and it isn't a universal pad. It's front-axle specific to the BMW chassis listed above. If you need the rear, or your BMW uses a different front brake package, grab the matching set for your exact application instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-metallic friction compound matches BMW factory spec for consistent bite and predictable pedal feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFront axle set of two pads, one box does the front brakes on your BMW 5 or 6 Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect OE replacement for BMW part 34118847063, drops into the factory Teves caliper with no modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrepared for a pad wear sensor so your dash brake warning keeps working after the swap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits BMW 528i, 535i, 535d, 535i xDrive, ActiveHybrid 5 and 640i Gran Coupe, roughly 2011 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChamfered pad edges help cut brake squeal and vibration at the caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHella Pagid friction material engineered to the original equipment standard these cars shipped with\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Hella Pagid reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhich vehicles does the Hella Pagid 355015261 pad set fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a front pad set for the BMW 5 Series and 6 Series Gran Coupe, including the 528i, 535i, 535i xDrive, 535d, 535d xDrive, ActiveHybrid 5, and 640i and 640i xDrive Gran Coupe, roughly the 2011 to 2016 model years.
