GeoBrakes stocks disc brake caliper kits confirmed to fit the Bmw 535d, pairing a replacement caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the 535d with matched brake pads, caliper hardware, and in many cases a new rotor, so the entire brake corner on your Bmw 535d is restored in a single service. Every kit is confirmed for the Bmw 535d exact year, make, model, axle, and side, ships with a 100% fitment guarantee and full manufacturer warranty, and qualifies for free delivery on orders over $99.
When a caliper on the Bmw 535d seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your 535d keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Bmw 535d is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Bmw 535d together.
The kit for your Bmw 535d includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the 535d, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Bmw 535d piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the 535d caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Bmw 535d, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your 535d, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Bmw 535d application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Bmw 535d in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your 535d are already compromised. During a high-mileage 535d overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Bmw 535d are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the 535d brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Bmw 535d.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Bmw 535d are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for 535d vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Bmw 535d housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most 535d replacement applications.
Calipers for the Bmw 535d are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the 535d are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Bmw 535d exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Bmw 535d at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Bmw 535d has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your 535d. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second 535d caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Bmw 535d after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Bmw 535d to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the 535d must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Bmw 535d.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Bmw 535d kit?
A new caliper for the Bmw 535d has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original 535d housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Bmw 535d applications.
