F32/G3x m sport brakes

Chappers 71 · 02-08-2025, 10:24 AM

I have been trying for a while to find a set of ceramic front brake pads for my G31 540i but I can’t find anywhere here in the UK that sells them, other than getting something from EBC which I’d rather not do.

Do any of you know if the f32 & G30 share the same blue m sport front brakes, as I can find ceramic pads listed for an F32.

Cheers

Apparently you've done an exhaustive search in the UK for ceramic pads for your G31, so it's suggested that you look at Rockauto.com. They ship overseas and considering the size and weight of four pad, shipping costs should be nominal. On average their ceramic pads sell for well under 100 pounds.

Installed Power Stop ceramics on my 540d xdrive and they seem to perform (without the dust) as well as the OE semi metallics.

BTW, the typical Brembo front caliper (whether painted red, blue or unpainted) use the same pad, but only with a slightly different top-to-bottom size. In short, the pad size is dependent on a rotor size of either 348mm or 374mm (with the larger rotor using the taller pads). To determine the rotor/pad size cast in the back of the caliper is a line that might read: 4x440-44/348/36 or 4x440-44/374/36. The "36" at the end denotes rotor thickness of 36mm.
