BMW E46 M3 Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement DIY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- ►The BMW E46 M3 uses large, high-performance brakes to balance the car's horsepower. Like any other braking system, the M3's pads and rotors will eventually need replacing with some new, quality parts. The rear brakes don't do as much of the stopping as the fronts, so they'll last anywhere between 45-70,000 miles, depending on your usage. BMW uses a brake pad wear sensor that will trip a message on the instrument cluster, letting you know when your brake components need replacement. However, brake issues can arise beforehand, as felt through a juddering through the steering wheel and pedal while braking.
We've put together an E46 M3 brake kit to not only make servicing easier but the shopping experience as well. The kit includes all of the components you'll need to get your brakes back to where they need to be for spirited driving. The kit used in the video uses Zimmermann rotors and Textar pads, but if that isn't what you'd like to use, browse our site to check out the various other available options.
Once you've chosen your kit, follow along as Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro's Professional DIY'er, tackles a rear rotor and pad replacement on an E46 BMW M3.

FCP Euro You are overworking this guy.. Give the man a day off, or a raise... Better yet, how about BOTH? lol
I knew I liked you!-MIKE
Appreciate your excellent DIYs
Great video
The best
Textar pads are awesome! Grippy, and silent. Great fell. Better than OE from my experience
They dust like crazy though!
Thanks for the good video. A few questions if you don't mind. I have an 06 ZCP. 1. Any difference IYO between stock rear rotors and Zimmerman? 2. With the rotor removed, is this a good time to try and tighten the parking brake? Mine is not holding car very well. 3. You mentioned not cleaning off rotor with brake cleaner. Will this slow down the rotor rusting? TIA.
Thank you for this DIY! Any need to open the brake fluid reservoir to let any pressure out when squeezing the piston into the caliper? And also, any reason to replace a 2004 anti-rattle clip with a new one besides looks? Thank you!
Thank you for watching, Jonathan! You don't need to open the cap, but it does not really hurt to do so if you want to be able to remove fluid at any point. The anti-rattle clip replacement would be purely aesthetics.
I like how he said no zip ties included😂
