EBC DP51995NDX Bluestuff NDX Front Brake Pads for 2008–2010 BMW 135i 3.0L Twin Turbo

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: 163 x 74 x 16mm

• Chemical Interlayer Pad For Super Strong Pad Bond
• Deep V Grooves Catches Dirt Dust/Improves Venting
• Huge Lifetime Almost Double Previous EBC Products
• 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 DP51995NDX Bluestuff NDX front brake pads are engineered for aggressive street driving and selected track applications on the 2008–2010 BMW 135i with the 3.0L twin-turbo engine. This high-friction compound delivers strong cold bite, progressive pedal feel, and reliable stopping performance without requiring the brakes to reach high operating temperatures first. Bluestuff NDX is particularly well suited to vehicles equipped with quality aftermarket multi-piston calipers, improved cooling, and larger rotors.

Designed to balance street usability with track capability, the EBC Bluestuff NDX material provides consistent release, low heat transfer, and rotor-friendly operation. Its chemical interlayer supports a strong pad bond, while deep V grooves help capture dust and improve ventilation through the friction material. The smooth, unscored pad surface is designed to promote even contact with the rotor and support long service life. As with any high-performance pad, results can vary on older street-based caliper systems where caliper drag, slider resistance, limited pad area, or restricted cooling affect performance.
