Hi Guys,

i know this question has probably been asked before but does anyone have the part numbers for front and rear brake discs and pads for an E90 D3 BT.

Hi Swannie,

It should be on 330mm front discs and 336mm rears. I recently replaced mine with dimpled and grooved discs with red stuff pads from Mtec. Not expensive and they seem very good now I have bedded them in a little

330mm front discs BMW Part No: 34116854999
336mm rear discs BMW Part No: 34216855004

I hope that helps

Regards
Kev

is a 335 upgrade a worthy shout or are the brakes plenty strong enough on a D3 BT? I'm picking mine up next week

Hi Stubert,
I really don't think that the D3 brakes need upgrading as they are larger than the 320D items anyway.
I have given mine some pretty harsh treatment and never had any overheat issues and certainly never felt that they needed to be upgraded.
The reason I went for the grooved/dimpled Mtec ones was purely for aesthetics really. I also had them coated black for Â£25.
The Red stuff pads are also very good and produce far less dust than the OEM pads so my wheels stay a little cleaner for longer, which is a huge bonus

I think the brake sizes are different from pre-facelift to face lift model?

I only found this out when I bought 16" winter wheels from a member on here with a pre facelift D3 and went to fit them to my facelift D3 -!; they wouldn't fit over the front calipers!
