The kit for your Bmw 550i Xdrive includes front or rear disc brake rotors at OEM or performance specification for the 550i Xdrive, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation compound-matched to the Bmw 550i Xdrive rotor specification, a caliper hardware kit with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the 550i Xdrive, brake lubricant for correct caliper pin and shim installation on your Bmw 550i Xdrive, and rotor mounting hardware where required by the Bmw 550i Xdrive application.

Three Kit Levels for the Bmw 550i Xdrive

OEM Replacement Disc Brake Kit for the Bmw 550i Xdrive

Restores factory braking performance exactly on your Bmw 550i Xdrive, the correct specification for everyday commuting and family use of the 550i Xdrive in American conditions.

Antirust Coated Disc Brake Kit for the Bmw 550i Xdrive

The most practical choice for American Bmw 550i Xdrive drivers. Zinc-coated or e-coated rotor surfaces on the 550i Xdrive resist the rust that plain rotors develop within days of road salt exposure on your Bmw 550i Xdrive, maintaining consistent friction performance through multiple winter seasons.

Performance Disc Brake Kit for the Bmw 550i Xdrive

Uses cross-drilled and slotted rotors with high-performance pads for Bmw 550i Xdrive drivers who tow, drive mountain roads, or generate sustained braking temperatures beyond what factory-spec rotors manage effectively on the 550i Xdrive.

Why Correct Hardware Is as Important as the Friction Components on the Bmw 550i Xdrive

Caliper slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips on the Bmw 550i Xdrive are the most commonly overlooked components in a brake service and the most common cause of brake noise complaints after a pad change on the 550i Xdrive. Sticking slide pins on your Bmw 550i Xdrive prevent the caliper from floating freely, causing the outer pad to wear faster than the inner. Every GeoBrakes disc brake kit for the 550i Xdrive includes fresh hardware as a standard component.

Signs the Disc Brake Kit on Your Bmw 550i Xdrive Is Due

What rotor type should I choose for my Bmw 550i Xdrive in American conditions?

For everyday commuting on your Bmw 550i Xdrive, an antirust coated OEM kit is the most practical choice, delivering factory-level performance while resisting the corrosion plain rotors develop rapidly on the 550i Xdrive in road salt conditions. For towing or performance driving with your Bmw 550i Xdrive, a drilled-and-slotted performance kit provides improved heat management.

How long do disc brake kits last on a Bmw 550i Xdrive?

Under normal American driving, a quality disc brake kit on the Bmw 550i Xdrive typically lasts 50,000 to 70,000 kilometres. Antirust coated kits tend to last longer on the 550i Xdrive because corrosion is a major cause of early rotor replacement on American Bmw 550i Xdrive vehicles.
