BMW 5 Series 2017 525Li replacement brake pads

August 16, 2024

The car has been running for 7 years and has traveled 70,000 kilometers. When it was less than 6W kilometers, I found that the brakes were already squeaking, but they weren’t always ringing. They were only occasionally low, such as going out in the morning or going home at night. It happened to be quite quiet in the community, and I was embarrassed by the looks of passers-by…
In the second year, the rear brake cylinder and brake pads were guaranteed once for around 15,000 yuan, but after less than 15,000 yuan, there was an alarm. ssss didn’t care. It was indeed cheaper than the store to find a place to replace the original rear pads at your own expense, but this grinding method really makes people feel painful and annoying. This is the fourth set of rear brake pads. I just want to find a cheap one and can’t wait to install it myself. It’s really annoying to have to think about replacing brake pads for about 20,000 yuan.

I really like this wheel hub

Some very expensive brands have also been used, but it is really unnecessary to put them behind. It is too wasteful. Because the problem of not knowing whether it can be stopped is obviously endless excessive wear and tear without returning to position. I searched around and saw that someone in the forum had installed GALFER rear brake pads, which were said to be the ones installed in the original car. I have also looked for Bosch, Firodo and so on, but there is no suitable one. There is a GALFER flagship store on Dongdong, which is cheap, so I placed an order. Sending the brake alarm line can also be regarded as saving extra expenses. Once installed, you can renew it for another 2w+km.

Garfa is of good quality

At a glance, you can tell that this packaging is authentic. It looks very high-quality. It is imported, the original OEM brand, and it is trustworthy.

In fact, it’s not too troublesome to change the brake pads, and it’s not impossible to lift them up and exert themselves. However, in this generation of electronic handbrakes, the rear wheel must use a special inspection computer to release the brake before the caliper can be removed, which basically eliminates the possibility of doing it yourself. Speaking of which, computers in most stores cannot release this brake, which is a bit troublesome.
