People have wondered why there are those bridges over the top of the front calipers so you can't slide the pads out the top to change them. I think it may be because the calipers are too long to have a opening that large in the top.
When I got my last set of new front pads, I also got some for our M3 race car that has the StopTech 355 kits (bear in mind, that is the largest kit I can get under my 18" wheels).
When I opened them up, I mistakenly thought the pads were for the other car. The 135i front pads were so much larger than the pads for my M3. There was such a difference, I wondered if Hawk had sent me the wrong pads for the M3 and immediately went to my spares drawer to double check.
When I pull my stuff out this weekend, I'll try to remember to get a shot of the 2 pads next to each other.
