Hawk HB604G.598 DTC-60 Race Rear Brake Pads 2008-2013 BMW 135i/135is E82/E88

Vehicle Fitment

• 2008-2013 BMW E82 135i (3.0L N54/N55 Turbo I6, RWD) - Rear
• 2013 BMW E82 135is (3.0L N54 High-Output Turbo I6, RWD) - Rear
• 2008-2013 BMW E88 135i (3.0L N54/N55 Turbo I6, RWD) - Rear

Fitment Notes

• Rear axle application only - OEM caliper, 0.598 in. pad thickness.
• Also fits as a replacement rear pad in E9X Performance Big Brake Kits (BBK) using the same rear caliper interface - verify your BBK caliper spec before ordering.
• Does not fit BMW 128i - the 128i uses a different rear caliper and pad shape.
• For circuit racing, HPDE, and track use only - not suitable for street daily driving.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; designed for iron/metal rotors only.
• Expect significantly increased noise, dust, and rotor wear compared to street compounds.
• Requires a proper race bed-in procedure after installation before competitive use.
• No electronic wear sensor or hardware included.

Features

• DTC-60 compound delivers very high torque with high initial bite - purpose-built for track-driven 135i applications demanding maximum rear deceleration performance.
• Superior release and torque control characteristics for precise, repeatable braking through consecutive corners.
• Very low abrasive rotor wear for a high-torque race compound - extended rotor service life in endurance and sprint racing.
• High temperature operating range of 400-1600°F with an optimal window of 700-1100°F - built for sustained track heat cycles.
• Pairs well up front with HB603G.616 DTC-60 for a full matched set, or with HB603U.616 DTC-70 fronts for a split-friction setup.
• Proven across NASCAR, Sports Car/GT, Open Wheel/Formula, and Trans-Am competition.
• Backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk HB604G.598 DTC-60 rear brake pads are engineered for the rear axle of the 2008-2013 BMW 135i (E82 coupe and E88 convertible) and 2013 BMW 135is - the turbocharged 3.0L six-cylinder 1-Series variants. The DTC-60 is the natural choice for 135i track drivers who want maximum rear braking performance, delivering very high torque and high initial bite in the 700-1100°F optimal temperature window where circuit racing generates sustained heat.

These rear pads are most commonly paired with HB603G.616 DTC-60 front pads for a matched full-axle race setup, or used in a split-friction configuration with DTC-70 up front for drivers seeking more front-biased braking balance. They also fit E9X Performance BBK rear systems using the same caliper interface. Due to the DTC-60's high optimal temperature window, a thorough race bed-in procedure is mandatory after installation, and these pads are not intended for street use under any circumstances.
