Designed specifically for select BMW and Land Rover models, this set includes all necessary hardware and lubricant for a professional-grade installation. ## Description Today, one of every three Asian, Domestic, and European vehicles on the road in North America includes Bosch braking components. That's because Bosch has been a key player in the braking industry since applying for its first brake system design patent in 1936. The Bosch QuietCast line draws on this robust experience to deliver OE quality performance, industry-leading strength and durability, and exclusive innovations including Molded Shim Technology (MST). QuietCast pads feature the industry's best pre-attached OE style multilayer rubber core shims, ensuring the highest quality bond between rubber and steel, for lower noise, increased strength, and superior corrosion resistance. The proprietary Semi-Metallic friction material is meticulously engineered to achieve superior performance, exceptional stopping power, and quiet operation with low dust. Corrosion and rust resistant powder-coated backing plates deliver increased product life. OE style slots and chamfers ensure premium quality, fit, and function. Set includes pads for 1 axle (2 wheels), hardware kit (where available), and synthetic lubricant for reduced resistance on sliding contact points. Compatible with select vehicles (Note: vehicle trim level may affect fitment - verify specific vehicle fitment details with fit checker above). Review: Stopping Power. - I was a little skeptical, because I normally buy my pads from dealer. The way these brakes pads stop, are superb! Especially the way I push my Whip!!! Very smooth, and no vibration. Review: This is not the correct brake pad for my 1995 Audi A6 Quattro as advertised - The brake pads fit, but they have the wrong sensor type. The 1995 Audi a6 quattro has a round plug for a sensor for the front passenger and front driver side brake pads. This Bosch BP228 set only has ONE sensor on one side, and it is a SQUARE plug. Unfortunately, I had to install these today anyway, because I am about to drive about 2000 miles and I needed new brakes. I can't return them, so I will probably have to just throw them away and replace them with a real OEM set when I get back from my trip. ## Features - The Bosch QuietCast line draws on over 77 years of OE braking excellence; promising the highest quality performance, industry-leading strength and durability, and exclusive innovations including Molded Shim Technology (MST) - The industry's best pre-attached OE style multilayer rubber core shims ensure the highest quality bond between rubber and steel, resulting in lower noise, increased strength, and corrosion resistance - Rigorously formulated and tested by Bosch's engineers, the Semi-Metallic friction material in the QuietCast line is meticulously engineered to achieve superior performance, exceptional stopping power, and quiet operation with low dust - Powder-coated backing plate prevents rust and corrosion for increased product life of the brake pad; Slots and chamfers ensure premium quality, fit, and function - Set includes pads for 1 axle (2 wheels), hardware kit (where available), and synthetic lubricant for reduced resistance on sliding contact points.FRONT: Compatible with select vehicles (Note: vehicle trim level may affect fitment - verify specific vehicle fitment details with fit checker above): BMW: 1991 318i, 1991 318is, 1986-87 325es, 1991-92 325i, 1991 325iX.REAR: LAND ROVER: 1999-04 Discovery, 1997-02 Range Rover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008HZMSYG | | Auto Part Position | Rear | | Auto part position | Rear | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #37,774 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #107 in Automotive Replacement Brake Pads | | Brand | BOSCH | | Brand Name | BOSCH | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Truck | | Country of Publication | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 123 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00077212097210 | | Included Components | Brake Pads | | Item Type Name | Disc Brake Pad Set | | Item Weight | 1.19 kg | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Manufacturer Part Number | BP493 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Bosch Brake Components LLC (BBC) warrants all BBC Brake Products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship, from date of purchase by the original verified purchaser from an authorized installer or retailer. | | Material | Semi-Metallic | | Material Type | Semi-Metallic | | Model Number | BP493 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Specification Met | OE | | Specification met | OE | | UPC | 077212097210 | | Vehicle service type | Truck | ## Product Details - **Auto part position:** Rear - **Brand:** BOSCH - **Material:** Ceramic - **Specification met:** OEM - **Vehicle service type:** Automotive ## Images ![BOSCH BP493 QuietCast Premium Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set - Compatible With Select BMW 318i, 318is, 325es, 325i, 325iX; Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover; FRONT | REAR - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oxpRIgPoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stopping Power. *by O***N on 19 October 2024* I was a little skeptical, because I normally buy my pads from dealer.
