flipkid · 05-21-2014, 03:24 AM

Could anyone that has these installed tell me what is the part# for the Akebono front brake pads?

Akebono is not a popular brand among this group. didn't even know they make pads for E82. depending on your use the popular ones are cool carbon, ferrodo and hawk. there are a few more like carbotech, pagid, stoptech, porterfield, EBC

Just go to the Akebonobrakes.com (in my case akebonobrakes.com.au) website and enter your model details

had the Akebono Euro on my ex E92 335i. Loved them cause of the really low dust and good initial bite.

On my E92 M3 i had the StopTech Street Performance, dust a lot more than the Akebono, but had the better initial bite.

I have a set for my e82 123d which has 330 mm diameter front and 300 mm rear rotors (disks): Front EUR1061; Rear EUR1267.

Just go to http://www.akebonobrakes.com.au/akeb...log/index.html and enter your car's details. While a Japanese company, and the largest brake company in the world, they have operations globally. I bought mine out of Amazon.com. In North America, Tirerack would be the company to contact.

How odd. Yet they make them for the 123d. Start by searching here: http://catalog.brakewarehouse.com/resetsession.epc

Perhaps contact a local dealer in Europe to be certain.
