EBC Yellowstuff Brakes for M235i
Good News Everyone!
EBC now makes M235i fitments for their Yellowstuff compound -- the front pads are part no. DP42130R and the rears are part no. DP42133R. Finding the fronts is easy. However, the rears (currently) are very hard to find. EBC just got their first shipment in this past week, and I'm the first person in the US to order those pads for the M235i, so I had to have a company called perfectbrakes.com do a drop shipment and get the rears to me. In case anyone is not familiar, Yellowstuffs are a pretty good solution for a hybrid street/track pad, if that's your kind of thing. I'm excited to try them out. |

Surprised no one has commented on this. I like the yellowstuff and have used it on other cars on the past. Pretty decent lack of dust and good initial bite.

I know right! I've used them as well and can't wait to wear out the stock pads so I can get these bad boys on!

Is the amount of dust they do make grey like other carbon pads? I have never used these before, always heard good things though.

I'm just excited that they can be run on a track (supposedly), and then run on the street, without too much hassle. The rear pads just came in for me, still waiting on the fronts. If any one is interested, call perfectbrakes.com and ask for Opal and give her those part numbers. They'll hook you up.

FWIW, I had a really bad experience with hybrid pads recently. Endless MX72's (which are supposedly very good hybrids). Apparently they couldn't cope with the temps they were seeing and they pad deposited two sets of rotors on me (in one track weekend). I would never consider another hybrid pad now. I now have new rotors and one track set and one street set. I swap before/after events and always bed the new pads well. The key is getting the pads/rotors up to temp and then highway driving without stopping to give the brakes time to cool back down. I wouldn't recommend bedding them at the track either, you really can't get sufficient cool-down time in.

I'm probably going to wait for my Porterfields to burn themselves out before I switch. They're actually pretty damn good, so no need to waste. Dunno how many more track days/street miles they'll take before giving up the ghost.

I have been running EBC Yellows for 2 years now. It's remarkable how well they work on track (I run advanced intermediate) with no fade ever- awesome modulation and great initial bite.
What's even crazier is that I was lazy and left them on this past winter. Even down under 10 degrees, they had as much initial bite as oem bmw pads. Blown away. I have a fresh set of front and rears that will be going on soon. I was running oem pads on the rear so I am pumped to track it. From what its worth, My car is prob the same weight as a 235i, and I put the bigger 335i 13.7" fronts on my car (the rears were the same) If you use your stock rims on the street, be glad the 235i comes with dark gray wheels. These are pretty dust pads, but not awful.
