BMW F30 Front Brake Pad & Disc Replacement DIY (BMW 2-Series, 3-Series, & 4-Series)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
- ►Today's DIY covers two jobs-BMW F30 brake pad replacement and BMW F30 brake disc or rotor replacement. Both of these jobs are being performed on a BMW 328i xDrive with the standard brake caliper set up. Unlike our previous F30 front brake replacement video featuring the M-Sport brakes, this DIY covers the standard option brakes that you'll find on most 3-Series F30s.
For this DIY, we chose to replace the BMW OEM brake pads and rotors with TRW Ultra Ceramic brake pads paired with Zimmerman rotors. The TRW pads offer comparable stopping power to the OEM pads while being both quieter and less dusty.
Follow along as Gareth takes us through the step-by-step process of replacing your BMW F30 brake pads and discs with minimal tools.

I first learned how to do brakes on my E92 328 after watching your video for that model and the procedure is the same. So it should go a lot quicker this time around on the F30 328 I now own. Was thinking how you skipped greasing the pads and guide pins which would be helpful to those who are doing this for the first time. Otherwise thanks again for the DIY library that makes maintaining a BMW much less costly.
After you’re finished all your how to videos, this is going to be the most well sorted 328 in the country 😂
Literally, I always laughed at the preview pics of the videos, it’s always him laughing or smiling because now you have to do more maintenance on your f30 otherwise dread something will go wrong 😂😂
Just replaced front discs and pads, survived the test drive ;) got rid of vibrations during braking. Thanks a lot
Great video, just came here to say IF anybody strips out the 6mm nut that retains the rotor: a T45, a hammer and some WD40 works great. That's what my neighbor did to save my bacon. After smashing the T45 into the enlarged 6+mm hole it backed right out using my 3/8" socket wrench. 👍
Great video. The back is exactly the same. I would definitely recommend it if you are doing the breaks for the first time
Kudos to the camera work and editing! Your crew makes great videos. Thank you!
Loving your DIY videos. Changed the sparkplugs on our cat today, so of course the brakes start squeaking when I'm taking it around the block and listening to it run smoother.
It never fails!
I got all the tools ready started doing the brakes and to my surprise there was a inverted torx instead of the 18 mm hex E16 luckily I had one Thanks for the great video!!! 2017 330GT🙈
Great video. Very helpful. Just curious why the guide pins and ears of the brake pads were not lubricated before reinstalling them?
My BMW dealer just quoted me $1800 to replace the pads and rotors (all 4)! I’ve ordered the parts from FCPEuro and going to do it myself. Since the car has 60k on it I’m also going to replace the guide pins and bushings. Cost of parts is under $450.
No need to open the reservoir for brake fluid? Also no copper grease or similar?
It didn't look like any of the TRW Brake Paste/Lube was added during the install. Why is that?
I was thinking the same thing! I always use brake grease on the pins and where the pad ears ride on the calipers.
Yea bout that lol
Yes, it’s best practice to apply a bit of synthetic lube to the pins and the ears of the brake pads.
Looking at a Bentley manual for E90 (very similar) it mentions specifically to lube the pad ears. It also specifically mentions NOT to lube the slide pins which is interesting.
@@afhostiewhy do you think it says not to lube the slide pins
Great stuff. If upgrading to M-Sport brakes will I need some sort of caliper bracket adapter or will it just bolt on to where the guide was?
Great video showing clear step by step instructions on how to do a brake disc / pad replacement . Are these the standard 312mm front discs ?
Thanks a lot. Easy to follow instructions. Went perectly.
Awesome instructions.
So how do I install Brembos on an F30 with this type of caliper?
Same tools for rear pads and disks as well?
hmmm 750 in labor or this and an afternoon? easy choice
haha, same reason I'm here!
Thank you!!!! Great video Brother.
Thank you for watching!
No brake clean on caliper piston before it goes back into the caliper? just curious. thanks.
Clean and great work
Did it few days ago but got click noise when pressing brake pedal
The braking power is not affected but this click is driving me nuts
Nice and quick
does it matter if the inboard and outboard brakes are seperated or not ??? on the 330i g20 the pads do not have clips's and i installed 2 outboard pads on passenger side and 2 inboard pads on the driver side ( this side has the wear sensor and the pads have a slot for the sensor .with some type of metal backing on the shime . ) the other brakes have a slot with no metal backing and a sensor does not fit in them. when i test drove the car it made a bad squeak noise. when i took the brakes off im pretty sure thats how they were installed to begin with. im not 100 percent sure .
Hi, would you disconnect the battery first be for disconnecting the brake wear calliper sensor,? I ask because disconnecting an electrical part on some cars would it think the part is no longer working and come up as a fault code,
Also if I disconnect the battery would i have to have the garage reprogram the car to the battery, as ive heard this with some BMW?
why did you not apply any silicon grease to the slide pins
I will be using a trolley jack and jack stands to lift my car . Any tips on how to lift the front of the car centrally and do you recommend jack stand pads so the plastic inserts are not damaged ?
I used this for our F22. Also bought the jack stand pads off ebay for redundancy/safety because Im never relying on just a jack. ua-cam.com/video/qqIkAgCugJo/v-deo.html
You definitely don't want to break the plastic inserts. I imagine you've done this already, how'd it go? I used my hands, to feel where under the front there is a solid area to lift, as the cover stops me from seeing where is best. There's a few videos on how to jack up your F30 which helps.
Thank u bro
Welcome bro
The 17 mm 12 doesn’t fit my lug .. how can I take off wheel what’s the best socket ? Low or deep?
One question it is necessary to change the disk each times when to change the break pad?
Hi Mario, While you can definitely just replace the brake pads, typically if the pads are very worn and old, there is a chance the discs are also in rough shape, which is why we always recommend replacing them at the same time.
All this should fit a 2016 bmw 228i with standard brakes?
No brake grease on the pad to caliper sliding surfaces - they will squeak. No grease on the guide pins - Oops........
Nice😊
I am replacing the front brakes on my BMW 335D F30 Xdrive. The old disks have a ring of metal studs in the hub but the replacements do not. I cannot find any information on these studs so I am not sure if they are needed. Any idea's ?
Some of the factory discs had a two-piece design, with the hubs being "riveted" to the discs. You can use the Zimmerman one-piece replacements like the ones used in this DIY.
@@fcpeuro Thanks, Yes I figured it out once I cleaned up one of the old disks. The hub is light alloy to save weight. The replacements are one piece and are around 0.5kg heavier but they did fit perfectly. Thanks again.
@@fcpeuro Hi, It sounds like you know about BMW's so I hope you don't mind me asking the following question. My car failed MOT with a suspected fuel tank leak (Its an F30 335D). They wanted £400+ to fix it and possibly £2000 for a new tank. I decided to tackle it myself. I opened up the access panel under the rear seat so I could see the top of the fuel pump in the tank. There is a single electrical plug and two fuel lines (feed and return). There is also what appears to be a closed off barbed pipe connector protruding from the top of the pump and the fuel is leaking out of the tip of that but only when the engine is running. Do you know what that connector is for and can I just block it off?
Is it mandatory to replace the pad wear sensor or just recomended
Bfocus, due to the nature of the sensor, usually breaks when being removed. For the cost, we always recommend replacing them with every brake job.
Do you tighten your lugs firm, with either a breaker bar, or impact wrench, then lower fully to the ground to torque or just so their touching the ground, but not a lot of weight on them? I'm reading conflicting info elsewhere. Thanks.
Super late to the party, but just get the lugs snug with any tool. I use an electric drill. Lower then get them done with your torque. 95lbs for BMW 3 series.
did you loosen the wheel lugs with a breaker bar before lifting the car, or did you just hit'm with the impact wrench? Thanks.
Hi Mark, the Milwaukee impact we have in the shop breaks them free and removes them all in one shot. However, if you do not have an impact, you want to break the lugs free first with a breaker bar before raising the vehicle so as to not put any additional stress on the drivetrain.
Awesome ~ ! !
Thanks!!
Dumb question - growing up I was always told to open the cap on the brake reservoir before trying to push back the piston. #1 to make it easier, #2 I was told you would otherwise damage the brake master cylinder or associated components. Any truth to this?
Robert, it is always a good idea to open it up, mainly to avoid over pressurizing the reservoir. If it is overfull before compressing any of the pistons in, it is recommended to pull some out of the reservoir, and then top off after you have completed your brake job.
@@fcpeuro do you have to compress the pistons? I don’t have a compressor tool
Can someone do my front brakes? Thanks
Anyone know why these brakes squeak so much? Pads and rotors are in great condition.
Took it to BMW they said because they’re the upgraded track brakes they’re always going to squeak 😐😐
Hi Ace, depending on the pads you are using, the more aggressive and performance orientated the pads are, the noisier they can be.
@@fcpeuro any pads you recommend for quiet daily driving?
@@acebrometheus6 textar rotors/pads are very good...
Do you always need to change the wear sensor? Or can you use the same one with new pads
Only if your brake pad light comes on. If not, the old one will be fine unless it is damaged.
You should always change the sensor out, that’s what BMW recommends.
I've gotten lucky once or twice, but the plastic of the old ones gets hard, and they tend to fracture when you try to install them into the new pads. Then you have to spend the time to go get one, when you could have had it handy....Feeling lucky?
What’s the make and model of your cordless impact driver please -
Milwaukee m12 stubby 3/8

Who has a car lift which can do diy? This is not a diy
No lift required. Any video done using a lift on our channel is as equally doable using a jack and some jack stands on a flat surface. We use a lift for the sake of giving viewers the best view of the work being done as possible. If you need instruction on how to properly and safely jack up your car to service it, you can always find it in your owners manual! If you have any questions in regards to that we would be happy to help.
Hahaha a lift he says. Pritty boy obviously never worked on a car. Keep it that way and go get a manicure or pedicure or whatever this new gen unicorn 🌈 hunters do 🤦😘 look, a unicorn 🍑🍆
I did the job yesterday using a trolley jack and axle stands. If you're not comfortable using that equipment then it's probably not a job for you.
Excellent video. I estimate it took me 1.5 hours ( but I also spent some of that time taking measurements of worn discs and pads, so possibly an hour's job)
