EBC Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads for 2012-2016 BMW M5 (F10) - DP52148NDX

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: 208 x 87 x 20mm

Brief Description: EBC Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are engineered for aggressive street driving and selected track applications on the 2012-2016 BMW M5 (F10). Part number DP52148NDX combines strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, reliable stopping performance, and excellent release characteristics for drivers who demand confident braking in both daily and performance environments.

Designed for use with upgraded multi-piston calipers, improved brake cooling, and larger rotors, the EBC Bluestuff NDX compound delivers consistent friction across demanding driving conditions. Its low heat transfer helps protect surrounding components, while the rotor-friendly formulation helps reduce unnecessary wear. Performance can vary with older street-based caliper systems that experience significant slider drag or caliper release limitations.
