Ok, if any of you guys can help.
I didn't do the swipe test on stock pad.
So, if anyone just washed their car, so. Swipe test after 4 days / 200 miles of driving.
About 3" of swipe.

But this is the result of swipe test with low dust after 4 days. About 200 miles.

I wonder if r33_RGSport might have access to the measurements ?






Thx,

Appear to be a match.

Is that your X3M brake pad?
AFAIK, X3M front pad doesn't have weight on the top.

Yes, and they do.

Part # 34-10-8-064-562

https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...kes/1VncmeHVu3 however there is no adhesive backing on the old or new pads FYI.

Got it. Per parts catalog, BMW changed it per MY 10/19.
That's why I don't have it, since mine built before October 2019.

104.18680 is one of them.

If you go to Centric/APC's website and look-up a 2020 330i, you will see the application guide on the right-hand side. https://www.apcautotech.com/part-det...bmw&model=330i

That pad is used in a surprising amount of BMW's.

Furthermore, should you cross that to something like a Pagid or other brands, there may be a ton of options.

I for one am happy with the OEM performance. With performance comes dust, there is no way around it without going full carbon. The rotors create dust as well https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a1...coated-brakes/ one begets the other. My daughters 2020 G01 produces zero dust, but those pads arent going to perform like an M compound or similar pad, there is no magic pill.

A 2+ ton SUV stopping from 60mph in less than 100 ft is remarkable. I don’t need remarkable. If it stops in 110 ft without dust, that works a lot better for my application.

That looks very promising. I have easily 2 times the dust just after ~70mls driving (over 1hr) with very gentle braking...

Thanks for the measurements !!

They look similar to D1868, except 2mm narrower.
If that width measurement is accurate, it won't work.
Can you double check?

Also the height of 114mm is taken from the wrong place.
You want to measure height between these red lines:


Thx !

My pleasure.

So getting that measurement with my 19.00 micrometer (emergency purchase) with the short teeth was tough because they are not long enough to make contact with both points at the same time. Despite my fiddling, this was the best I could do for you.

I knew exactly what you were looking for, so I "took" the measurement the best I could, and laid the micrometer down for the pic. I can put a square on it tonight, but IMO, these are a match that I would feel confident buying.

Ok, so I am finalizing price and ETA anyday now.
So far I only tested the low dust. Afterward, I will test the more bite.

For you that are interested, email me at bchen@rgsport.com with title X3M Brake Pad and type your username, type of brake pad (low dust or more bite), and location.
Once I have detail, I will reply with the pricing and ETA.

I put aside 10 sets for Group Buy and I will list it here.
