Yellowstuff pads 155mm or 156mm???? HELP!!

Post by JSz4 » Mon Aug 07, 2017 9:23 pm

To upgrade the stock front brakes on my 3.0i I recently bought a set of discs and calipers on eBay which were sold as 'bmw e46 330 front brakes setup caliper carrier disk pads 330ci 330i 330d 330cd'. I don't know what year the car was that they came from but I can't work out which Yellowstuff front pads to buy.

According to the EBC website there are two options for a 3 litre E46:
For a E46 2003-2007 330td you need the £94 155mm pads (Part No DP41552R)
For a E46 2000-2005 330 you need the £110 156mm pads (Part No DP41089R)

For a Z4 3.0si 2006-2009 you need the £94 155mm pads (Part No DP41552R)

Search for a BMW 3.0 E46 on Eurocarparts and it comes up with both pads..

Which will fit my setup, any ideas? Since they all share the 325mm discs I assumed they would all share the same pad?!

Cheers

Jeremy

Can you see if there is a part number stamped on the caliper? :)

Thanks, didn't think of that! :?

Looks like '57/25' is that a part number?

Mechanic sent pads to supplier and they said to replace them with pagids the code is 101110118 which appears to be the pad for a 80's 5 series..

Anyone else realise there were two types of 325mm E46 3 series front brakes?
