Front brake pads - any difference between models?

[Anonymous]

Hi guys.

Recently ordered some front brake pads from ECP - Pagid items. However, after also ordering front control arms and bushes, the parts were not correct fitment for my ///M. This got me wondering therefore if the front brake pads and wear sensors were also wrong, as the box states Z3 all models and Z4 all models...?

Thanks in advance!

Brake pads are totally different sizes between models, engine sizes and age. Off top of my head there are basic 2 sizes of pads, calipers and disks on standard Zeds and then the ///M (not to be mistaken for Msport suspension on standard Zeds)

Sensors the same on all non ///M. Can't comment on ///M so look it up on real oem.

Thanks Jeeper - as I'd feared. Damn ECP, that's about £400 of parts that I've had to return now! Have ordered from BMW Direct on eBay for a discount. Will no doubt have to order the sensor too. Thanks again, chap

Ebay has a useful tool that will tell you if an item fits your car. You can set it by make model and year (inc. ///M)

Had a few previous Audi encounters with that tool not being quite accurate too unfortunately, but at least this was from BMW on eBay account.
