Is the BREMBO brake disc 09.8952.1X ventilated or solid?

This brake disc is both perforated and ventilated. The perforations provide enhanced heat dissipation and debris removal, while the internal venting channels optimise airflow for superior cooling performance during intensive use.

How should new brake discs be properly bedded in?

During the first 200 km, avoid heavy braking and allow gradual heat cycling. Perform moderate braking from highway speeds, allowing cooling between applications. This develops the optimal friction layer for maximum performance and longevity.

What is the outer diameter and thickness of this brake disc?

The Brake disc BREMBO 09.8952.1X measures 325 mm in outer diameter with a thickness of 25 mm – specifically designed for BMW's performance-oriented front brake systems requiring enhanced stopping power.

Is this brake disc suitable for vehicles with ABS?

Yes, the BREMBO Xtra 09.8952.1X is mainly compatible with ABS-equipped vehicles. ABS works with different sizes of brake discs and usually only needs adjustment if the size of the old discs does not match that of the new ones.

Do I need special tools to install the BREMBO brake disc?

Standard automotive tools are usually sufficient for installation, including Torx bits, socket wrenches, and a torque wrench. However, proper torque specifications must be followed to ensure safe and reliable operation of the braking system and some advanced systems may require additional equipment.

What are the advantages of the BREMBO brake disc 09.8952.1X compared to other models?

The BREMBO Xtra technology offers excellent heat dissipation through perforations, enhanced wet weather performance, reduced brake fade, and a long service life. The precision manufacturing ensures perfect fit and optimal performance characteristics.

What is the minimum thickness specification for this brake disc?

The minimum thickness for the BREMBO 09.8952.1X is given as 23.6 mm. Regular measurement during service intervals ensures safe operation and prevents damage to other brake system components.
