Upgrade your BMW F8x M-Car’s braking performance with the MMX RP650 Fast Road Rear Pad, engineered to enhance stopping power and minimize brake fade under high temperatures. Designed specifically for F-Series M-Cars, these ECE-R90-approved high-performance rear pads offer excellent cold bite and superior fade resistance, making them ideal for fast road use and occasional track days while remaining smooth and quiet in daily driving conditions.
If you frequently push your M-Car to its limits, brake fade can be a familiar challenge. The RP650 pads tackle this issue, delivering a higher resistance to fade than factory pads while fitting seamlessly with your existing braking hardware for a hassle-free upgrade. Crafted with a medium aramid fiber compound that provides a friction coefficient of 0.42mu, the RP650 pads maintain consistent performance across temperatures ranging from 450°C to 650°C, ensuring strong braking power under all conditions without requiring a warm-up.
Key Features and Benefits of the MMX RP650 Brake Pads:
- ECE-R90 Approved: Complies with European standards, meeting requirements for cold performance, speed, friction behavior, and more, providing peace of mind and maintaining insurance validity.
- High-Temperature Fade Resistance: Enjoy a responsive pedal feel and progressive braking, withstanding the demands of spirited driving and track use.
- Quiet and Smooth Operation: Shimmed, slotted, and chamfered construction minimizes noise and promotes smooth, controlled braking, perfect for both city streets and open roads.
- Excellent Cold Bite: Provides reliable stopping power from the first press, eliminating the need for warm-up.
- Plug-and-Play Replacement: Easily replace your OEM pads with these direct-fit, high-performance upgrades without additional modifications.
Bedding in: After completing installation, make a series of 10 stops from 60mph (100kph) to 5-10mph (10-15kph). At the end of each stop, immediately accelerate back up to around 60mph (100kph) again for the next stop (the exact speed is not critical).
As you decrease to around 5-10 MPH (10-15kph), it is not necessary to watch the speedometer, keep your eyes on the road and approximate your speed at the end of each cycle. Do not come to a complete stop, as you will imprint pad material onto the disc, risking a vibration.
On the 8th or 9th stop, there should be a distinct smell from the brakes. Smoke may be evident after several stops as well. Also, by the 8th or 9th stop, some friction materials will experience “green fade”. This is a slight fading of the brakes. The fade will stabilise, but not completely go away until the brakes have cooled.
