Front Brake Pads, BMW - F8X M2/M3/M4

This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 34112284969 (34-11-2-284-969) and is described as OEM ATE Front Brake Pads for the BMW F80 M3 sedan, F82 M4 coupe, F83 M3 convertible, and F87 M2 (non Competition). These pads fit the standard blue Brembo 4-piston calipers on these cars (not Carbon Ceramic or 6-piston brakes). 

The original factory brake pad set is actually a very aggressive friction compound. This was done on M models to give them a "sporty" feel and better capability for aggressive use (even some track use) but often makes the stock brakes too "grabby" or sharp, and throw a ridiculous amount of brake dust in a short term period. That where these "OEM" ATE brake pads are usually preferred for daily street driving, as they are slightly less aggressive in this regard. If you would like to improve these characteristics, we think this ATE brand pad is a great solution. 

While we offer several other options (including lower dust / better stopping pads) for the M2/M3/M4 models, we know some prefer sticking as close to the Genuine BMW stock brake parts as possible. ATE is an original equipment (OE) supplier for BMW, and can help give your M3 or M4 very similar characteristics as stock, but a noteable improvement in the semi-harsh initial bite, and slightly less dusting. (Note we still wouldn't call these a "low" dust pad, but should be better than stock.)
