Track Pads for 328i?
I'll be taking my 2007 328i to the track in a few weeks and I'm looking for some track compound brake pads for it?
I checked on Hawk and Performance Friction's web sites and they don't list any. Does anyone know who makes a track pad for this car and where to buy them? Thanks! Alan |

Is this your first track event? Check the size number for the pads, sometimes you can find the same size pads, but they are listed under a different model.
i.e. performance friction z-rated ones for my fronts are the same size for E36 M3s. |

I was also desperately looking for some track pads for my 330 recently. (I'm assuming your 328i has calipers more like the 330 than the 335.) I also never found any official listing for pads from Hawk, Pagid, Cobalt, etc. The bimmerworld.com site DID list Hawk pads for the E90, and after getting e-mail assurance from them, I placed an order for HT-10's front & rear. Turns out my 330 w/ Sport pkg. uses the same pads as the E46 M3.
My track day is still about 10 days away, but I did remove both the front and back wheels to do a spot-check to make sure the pads would fit. They do in fact fit, and the only possible problem I found is the spring clip on the rear piston-side pad is MUCH smaller than the stock pads. I pried it out, but it still only just touches. It is my understanding that this is mainly to reduce noise, so I suppose they will be loud! Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing some better braking performance, but will take my stock pads for back-up. |
