BMW E92 335i m sp 2007 - Brake pads fitment size (europarts says front or front axle)

[ialwaysneedhelp]

Hi guys,

Hope you all are having a good morning. I am in the process of reviving my car. It has been garaged for 8 months now. Battery will be installed by RAC (i called and they said they will code it too), but to pass MOT i need front brake pads.

However, i went on eurocar parts to check which types of brake pads i would need and it is showing me two types: front axle and front. My car is E92 335i m sport 2007. Would someone be kind enough to point me to the right direction (site) or tell me the fitments so i can order it?

Any help would be very much appreciated. I am dying to get my car back to the road. miss driving it.

I was trying to get rid of some brake dust but keep the braking feel. So far I'm pleased, running them front and back.

Front axle and front are the same thing. There are different materials, not different sized pads, provided you get the car model right. There should be a description of the characteristics of each pad type on the website. If in doubt, just put on an OEM equivalent.

Don't forget that BMW rotors are thinner than most and are supposed to be changed when pads wear out. If you are doing the pads because they're worn down, you should change the rotors as well - which isn't a difficult job.

Bavauto sells rotor/pad kits for a bit over $200 for the front end. You can do both sides in a couple of hours working by yourself.
