Brake Pad for BMW X5: Chromed Steel
This brake pad for the BMW X5 is specified around chromed steel, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is inconsistent hardness between lots, or a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Fitment notes
Confirm the fitment against the VIN or the frame number before ordering; two model years often share a name and not a part.
Where it is used
The specification above is the one most often ordered for track days. Related applications include off-road trails, heavy load hauling, coastal delivery, wet weather riding, track days.
Quality and packing
- In-line inspection with AQL 2.5 sampling on every lot.
- Dimensional report issued against the approved drawing.
- Carton marking and barcode to your specification.
- Golden sample retained at the factory as the reorder reference.
Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
