Product Description

The EBC DP51996NDX Bluestuff NDX rear brake pads are purpose-built for BMW 135i owners who push their E82 or E88 hard - on back roads, autocross courses, or track days. Built on EBC's NDX compound rated to 0.4 µ and 900°C, these pads deliver confident rear braking from cold and hold strong under sustained hard use without fading.

Covering both the N54-powered 2008-2010 models and the N55-powered 2011-2012 variants, these pads feature EBC's chemical interlayer bonding for triple shear strength, deep V-grooves for debris evacuation and heat venting, and a factory heat-scorched surface for rapid bed-in. They wear evenly and are far gentler on rotors than most race-grade compounds. ECE R90 certified for road legality in applicable markets. Always pair with matching front Bluestuff pads for balanced brake performance.
