BMW 328i xDrive Brake Parts

Since 2008 Zimmermann is offering almost 400 Standard and almost 400 Sports Brake Discs in a coated version named Coat Z. The Zimmermann Coat-Z brake disc provides a protective coating that prevents rust and corrosion, extended rotor life and improved visual appearance. To improve the rust protection during storage and usage, Otto Zimmermann GmbH implements this new Coat-Z technology step by step in its production range. Beside the still optimum function of the brake disc, this coating ensures a consistent attractive appearance. Zimmermann brake discs are usually made of cast iron (with flake graphite) of different qualities; they correspond to the material used for the original spare parts. Therefore, the utilization of such materials (referred to as High Carbon by the competition) has always been a matter of course for Otto Zimmermann.

Product Features:

• Coat-Z protective anti-corrosion coating
• No formation of rust at the hub and herewith improved visual appearance
• Immediate functional capability without removal of the coating before mounting
• Excellent deceleration action and no distortion of friction ring at high temperatures
• Substantial weight saving and therefore less unsprung mass
• Floating mounting enables radial expansion of the brake disc under relatively heavy loads, thus preventing shielding and increasing resistance to heat cracks
• Hot spots prevented by optimized design of ventilation channels
• 1:1 exchange of original disc possible
• Not subject to registration: general ABE certification supplied with disc
• No conversion required for brake tuning

ATE supplies brake boosters in single or tandem versions and in all desired sizes and is one of the world’s leading OE suppliers of brake control and brake assist systems. The tie rod version, which is available for all designs, provides further weight reduction and additional optimized elongation characteristics. Front-bolt concepts on a tie-rod basis facilitate installation. Electric and mechanical brake assist systems, sensors for OHB, ACC, ESC, etc., as well as measures designed to optimize crash behavior complete the product portfolio. Brake assist systems are an important aid in emergency braking situations in which a driver needs to respond to an emergency situation, but does not apply the brakes with sufficient pressure. The brake assist recognizes the brake application speed to detect this type of panic situation, and activates the brake booster or the EBS hydraulic unit. Maximum braking is thus achieved although the force on the brake pedal is low – the shorter braking distance can even be life-saving.

Product Features:

• Original equipment (OE) quality
• Wide range of single and tandem Brake Boosters
• Unique tie-rod design meaning lighter and thinner parts for more efficient performance
• Most units are made of steel, but lightweight aluminium versions are also available.

Caliper housing spring retaining clips are an essential component of ATE-designed fist floating brake calipers. The fist floating caliper consists of a holder and housing, which is located in rubber damping sleeves. It slides within the holder together with the outer brake pad while as the pad wears. To prevent the housing from lifting off the pad and causing noise issues, the caliper is pulled against the brake pad by the caliper housing spring retaining clip. These clips are exposed to continuous corrosion attack and should therefore also be replaced each time the brake pads are changed.

Product Features:

• Premium Original Equipment replacement
• Provides performance and dependability
• Manufactured to meet OE specifications

100% New Caliper – Manufacturer recommends replacing calipers in pairs. With innovative fixed and floating calipers in aluminum and nodular cast iron, ATE is Europe’s market leader. And there is a good reason for that: during development, ATE simulates operational stresses in terms of braking load, vibration, corrosion and wear in extensive series of trials. This means that every basic safety-relevant function is ensured, the sealing of the hydraulic system as much as the venting function of the piston (roll-back), the return (knock-back) function, or the function of the housing/pad guides. ATE original brake calipers are supplied ready-to-install: rear-axle calipers with handbrake are usually pre-filled and preset. This permits simple and correct bleeding in the vehicle.

Product Features:

• OE quality direct fit application.
• Friction Ready
• Corrosion inhibiting protection
• Ensures long life and maximum performance
• Natural exterior finish

As an OE manufacturer, PEX brake wear sensors are designed and produced to have the same form, fit, and function as the original OE part. This means technicians get the right part for the job, the part fits properly, and the brake wear sensor works correctly once installed. This insures that as the brake pad wears down, the sensor makes proper contact with the rotor, which breaks the sensor’s wire loop. Once broken, the car’s warning lamp is illuminated, alerting the driver that the brake pads have worn to a level in which they need to be replaced.

Product Features:

• PEX sensors are designed and produced to have the same form, fit, and function as the original OE part enabling easy installation and ensuring proper fit.
• Use of high quality materials specified by auto manufactures ensures durability and resistance to extreme temperatures, as well as excellent electrical performance and provides safety and performance for drivers and passengers.
• All PEX products undergo stringent and constant quality controls. We inspect virtually every aspect going far beyond the form, fit, and function. Our Quality Control includes heat tests; resistance; as well as pull force testing – just to name a few.
• Our newly designed packaging is both cost effective and “green” since it is manufactured using fewer natural resources reflecting our dedication to corporate responsibility
• As the leading manufacturer of electronic brake wear sensors, PEX offers the widest range of sensors in our peer group for both commercial and passenger vehicles.
