BMW i5 Rear Brake Pad Set
This BMW i5 rear brake pad set presses against the brake discs to slow and stop the car, turning its movement into heat through a friction lining bonded to a steel backing plate. Because an electric car does much of its slowing with regenerative braking, the pads work less often than on a petrol car, but they still wear and need checking at every service. Pads that sit unused can glaze or pick up corrosion from the disc, which leads to squeal, judder or a weaker pedal feel.
Specifications at a glance: width 140.1 mm, height 70.7 mm, thickness 15.6 mm and approval ECE R90.
Signs Your Rear Brake Pad Set Needs Replacing
Common signs of worn pads are a squeal or grinding noise when braking, a longer stopping distance and a brake warning light on the dash. Pads on electric cars can also suffer from light corrosion when they are rarely used, which shows up as uneven wear or a pulsing pedal. Replace pads before the lining wears down to the backing plate, or the discs will be damaged too. Catching these signs early usually means a simpler and cheaper repair.

Fitting Advice
The rear calipers may need the electric parking brake put into service mode before the pistons are wound back. Check the discs, fit a new wear indicator if one is needed and bed the pads in gently. A fresh set of pads restores a firm pedal and confident stopping, which matters on a heavy electric car. Fitting new pads is also a good time to clean and lubricate the caliper slides.
