Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 330i/430i BMW 2015-2020 - Complete Kit

In this review of the Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for select 2015-2020 BMW models, the bottom line is practical: this is a convenient, all-in-one replacement solution for owners who want a straightforward DIY rear brake refresh. The kit bundles rear ceramic pads, parking brake shoes, two rear rotors sized for 330mm diameter applications, plus a brake cleaner and fluid kit, so installers get everything needed for a rear axle service in one purchase and can follow TRQ video guidance when available.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear ceramic pads, parking brake shoes, and two rear rotors so both wheels are serviced at once without sourcing parts separately.
• Brake rotor fitment: Rotors are specified for 330mm diameter rear brake systems common to 328i, 330i and 430i variants, reducing guesswork on compatibility.
• Ceramic pads: Ceramic compound aims to reduce dust and provide consistent stopping power for daily driving and commuting duties.
• Added fluids and cleaner: The included brake cleaner and fluid kit helps simplify prep and bleeding tasks during installation.
• Direct fit design: Pre-assembled, direct replacement components are intended to match OE dimensions and save time during installation.

Who It's For

This kit is best for DIY-savvy owners of 2015-2016 BMW 328i xDrive, 2016 328i, 2017-2018 330i and 2017-2020 430i models that use 330mm rear rotors and the listed rear caliper configurations. It is ideal for someone who prefers buying a full axle kit to ensure matched wear and to avoid multiple part numbers.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of BMW models with different rotor diameters or unique caliper setups not listed in the fitment, and professional shops that want only single-component replacements rather than a full retail kit.

• Direct fit rotors and pre-assembled components speed up installation for competent DIYers.
