BMW F30 335i Front Brake Pad + Rotor Replacement

[@AndyK.23]

Awesome how-to! With patient explanations and torque settings - well done!

[@KortneyJ]

Definitely could watch your videos all day.

[@johnarrington1164]

Awesome video dude. Just changed my brakes and the vid was a huge help. Earned a sub today.

[@derekyien3765]

I would not advise using pry bar tool to compress pistons leveraging against brake rotor. You can work them in by hand. Prevent damage to brake rotor, and brake caliper piston boot. It may be OKAY to do, just not good practice. Otherwise great video!!

[@bertolazi]

Hi there, i have a question for you do them discs have left and right because of the grooves and dimples are the grooves going the same direction when you put them side by side?

[@robbarron4066]

great vid - love those discs as well. Well chosen,. Have them on my 2016 340i. thx for posting this - very helpful!

[@jesse2200]

nice video, about to change my pads and rotors this week so this is a huge help man

[@softwere]

Caliper carrying bolts are TTY bolts at 9:35 they need to be replaced for precaution.

[@piotradamas103]

I subscribed because I absolutely APPRECIATE that you state the torque settings! Thank you

[@travies1527]

you don't have to bleed the system?

[@tuteknundeka6236]

Hi. Any annoying chirping, cricketlike sounds after upgrading to slotted/dimpled rotors? Thanks.

[@InlineSixAuto]

Yes I had a buzzing sound after installing these. I ended up putting non drilled and slotting rotors

[@yahiraguilar3180]

Good video bro! Quick question only one side had the brake sensor?

[@InlineSixAuto]

Yes only the driver side has a brake sensor

[@michaelnikprelaj6679]

Hey, at 15:31 when you moved the rotor, were the brake pads rubbing on the rotor? Mine does what does this mean

[@InlineSixAuto]

Yes. That’s normal. Since they’re fresh set of pads they’re very thick they’ll rub on the rotor for awhile until they wear down over time. At least that’s what I think lol

[@docdrops8185]

When I look at FCPEuro to buy these, it says that the rotors are used w/ M sports package. I would assume that they are referring to the M sports brakes; however, it looks like you have the Gray brakes ( I believe these resemble the brembo brakes). Even though the site says to use it with the M sports package, they work on these as well? Would you be able to explain this for me?

[@InlineSixAuto]

The only thing you need to pay attention to is the rotor size. The grey brembo brakes that I have fit with 340x30mm sized rotors. The colored Brembos with the M logo fit with 345x24mm or 370x30mm rotors That's all you need to know and look for. The size rotors you need are stamped on the inside of your brakes as I show in the video I believe. It should say '340' '345' or '370' and that's how you confirm the size you need

[@billy2338]

Quick question does they make any Noise when you driving

[@InlineSixAuto]

They do actually. There’s a buzzing sound coming from the front rotors. Apparently that’s a common issue with these specific rotors.

[@danyalbawani3299]

Is this the same thing for the 2012 bmw 335i?

[@InlineSixAuto]

If it is an F30 then yes. If its an E92, no

[@Yehoshuasoaress]

What if I have the stock brakes not the mapper will those rotors work??

[@InlineSixAuto]

what do you mean by "mapper"?

[@vincentfamily]

Hey bro I was just wondering does this rota make any noise at all?

[@InlineSixAuto]

Yes, I ended up just getting regular non dimpled/slotted rotors a month after doing this install

[@vincentfamily]

@@InlineSixAuto thank you so much for responding to me back. And that’s a bummer. I’m thinking to replace mind now

[@MrVangboi05]

I think those rotors are 370mm for the m performance brakes painted. The non-painted are 340mm.

[@InlineSixAuto]

that is correct.

[@grgrider8642]

Also to note with these sort of disc you will hear ticking noise on hard braking

[@recklezz_9738]

Just found your channel...awesome video. Quick question, did you reset the brake pad service message in the idrive system?

[@InlineSixAuto]

Thank you! And Yes I did. I waited to do the reset until I finished the rear brakes also

[@recklezz_9738]

@@InlineSixAuto how did you reset it?

[@InlineSixAuto]

@@recklezz_9738 its a long explanation, I don't think I can explain it clearly enough in words. I give a visual on how i did it at the end of my other video where I replace my rear brake pads and rotors.

[@recklezz_9738]

@@InlineSixAuto will look into it now. Also, how much did this whole setup cost?

[@InlineSixAuto]

@@recklezz_9738 for all 4 sets of brake pads and rotors it was $540 from FCP Euro

[@channelom5179]

I need to get my stock rotors and pads changed on f30 335i what setup do u recommend for better breaking but still cheap ish

[@InlineSixAuto]

Well if you want better braking you're going to have to spend quite a bit more. These Zimmerman rotors are just fine in my opinion and are on the cheaper side.

[@channelom5179]

@@InlineSixAuto got any recommendations need better braking bcz running stage 1 bm3

[@InlineSixAuto]

@@channelom5179 your stock brakes are plenty fine with stage 1. Im on Stage 2 E30 with BM3 and my braking is still good. They can handle way more than that from what I've seen so I don't think its necessary to worry about upgrading anything on your braking system.

[@channelom5179]

@@InlineSixAuto it really depends on the way u drive here in egypt we press the brakes more than we press the gas 😂. Thats why i am looking for better brakes you know

[@InlineSixAuto]

@@channelom5179 oh i see. Then youre going to have to spend quite a bit more if you want better braking lol. I believe StopTech has a bigger brake kit with better stopping but its pretty pricy

[@Swizzlestik]

imagine pulling out a 1/4" impact to remove quarter turn fasteners.

[@horlixs]

I notice you changed the 2 pc oem rota for solid ones, have you noticed any difference atall?

[@InlineSixAuto]

They feel the same tbh.

[@horlixs]

@@InlineSixAuto thank you, just replacing disks and pads on my 2017 3 series F30 M sport and fell over at the costs lol thanks for the help.

[@tirolekubu8578]

Was wondering the same. My concern is brake shudder when braking at high speed. It always happened on my previous cars with one piece rotors. I noticed it never happens on the beemer, I always thought it's the 2 piece design.

[@horlixs]

@@tirolekubu8578 well i had to go down the single rota route myself due to costs. All i can say is i have no shudder its extremely smooth however i have noticed they are not quite as sharp as oem ones. But that could be down to the aftermarket pads.

[@tirolekubu8578]

@@horlixs interesting. Thank you for the feedback. One of the local BMW dealers gave me a good quote for discs and pads. I’ll compare with aftermarket and see if it’s worth it. The normal dealer price is eye watering hey🤣

[@ivanvazquez7924]

Great video !

[@Zico73]

Do these make a ticking clicking noise after about 30mph, especially noticeable next to parked vehicles or walls etc. Thanks

[@InlineSixAuto]

Yes unfortunately. Eventually it went away on one side. But I ended up just switching to non slotted regular rotors before I could see if it would completely go away.

[@Zico73]

@@InlineSixAuto Really appreciate the reply.. So did you take the slotted dimpled off the car and replace with blanks eventually?, mine does it just on the nearside only and wondering why its just on one side. Why not all 4 because there brembo slotted dimpled all round?

[@InlineSixAuto]

@@Zico73 Yeah I took them off and replaced them with the regular rotors with no dimples or slots. but yeah same I really don't understand why it does that. I only did dimple and slotted rotors on the fronts, the rears were regular. I don't know why I thought that looked good at the time.

[@Zico73]

@@InlineSixAuto ye thanks I cannot get a exact reason for this noise on the Internet at all. Its only on the one corner (nearside), would you know of any methods of trying to stop this. 👍

[@NagashiChidorii]

@@InlineSixAuto why did you switch back?

[@fade621]

One thing, next time just crack your bleeder on the caliper.. no overflow from reservoir.

[@Iraanian]

ThaNk you ❤

[@census3370]

Just pump the brakes and the fluid should go down

[@ArmandoSantiesteban-no9en]

Hola

[@AntLive29]

BMW should have painted them calipers so they wouldn’t stain so easily

[@InlineSixAuto]

I ended up painting them myself and look 10x better and dont attract dirt easily
