EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads DP52370NDX for 2015+ BMW X5M 4.4L Twin-Turbo (F85)

Bluestuff NDX is a high friction sport and race material that can be used for aggressive street driving and certain types of track use. The material has had much success on the track with quality aftermarket calipers (Multi piston systems with better release and cooling and larger rotors) and limited success with street based calipers where pad size and caliper drag can challenge any brake material. The biggest advantage of EBC Bluestuff NDX is their bite from cold and progressive brake feel and the ability to bring a car to a complete stop. This has led to the ECE R90 brake safety regulation approval of R90 which is now completed and certificates are being obtained (during July 2011). There are certain older street based caliper systems where even the new Bluestuff will have trouble handling the caliper and slider drag inherent in the systems but this scenario is exactly the same for our competitors. There is NO material that will be PERFECT on the track in all older street based caliper systems. Pad Dimensions: 209.8 x 100.6 x 19.2mm

• Surfaces Are Left Smooth And Not Scored
• Worlds First Street And True Track Pad
• Low Heat Transfer
• Easy On Rotors
• Great Release

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads are designed for aggressive street driving and select track applications on the 2015 and newer BMW X5M 4.4L twin-turbo (F85). The Bluestuff NDX compound delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and dependable stopping performance from the first application. These pads are especially well suited for vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved brake cooling, and larger rotors.

The EBC Bluestuff NDX compound is engineered to balance street usability with track-focused performance. Its low heat transfer helps reduce thermal stress, while excellent release characteristics support predictable braking control. The friction material is also designed to be gentle on rotors compared with more abrasive race compounds. Because braking systems vary, performance may be affected by caliper drag, slider resistance, pad size, rotor condition, and brake cooling, particularly on older street-based caliper designs.
