The Story
Front Brake Kit for BMW Z4, 325Ci, 325i, 325xi, Z3
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a front disc brake service kit built for select BMW applications. Part number 4512-31169 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one package for a complete front brake refresh.
Compatible With 1999-2008 BMW front brake service applications, including BMW Z4, BMW 325Ci, BMW 325i, BMW 325xi, BMW Z3, BMW 323i, BMW 328Ci, and BMW 328i.
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors ready for installation without oil removal
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction for OE-style durability
- Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in and quieter stops
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Brake hardware with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pad Line
The DFC 5000 Advanced brake pad line is formulated for modern braking systems that need stable friction characteristics and consistent pedal response. For BMW 325i brake replacement, BMW Z4 front brakes, or a BMW 328i front disc brake kit, this pad compound is paired with rotor and hardware components selected to work together as a service set.
Detailed Brake Kit Description
Part number 4512-31169 is designed as a front brake kit for BMW 3 Series and Z4 fitments listed below. The coated rotors help resist rust buildup, while the machined surface and non-directional finish support even pad contact during bed-in. The included ceramic pads are post-cured and scorched to promote stable friction from the first stops, and the hardware kit is built to replace worn spring and contact components that can contribute to noise, uneven wear, and caliper movement.
Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address
- Brake noise during stops
- Rotor rust and surface corrosion
- Uneven pad wear
- Extended pedal travel from worn hardware
- Vibration or harshness during braking
Installation Notes and Fitment Tips
Fits 2003-2008 BMW Z4, front.
Fits 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci, front.
Fits 2001-2005 BMW 325i, front.

Before installation, confirm rotor size and brake configuration against the vehicle’s existing front brake setup. Clean the hub mounting surface, inspect calipers and slides, and follow proper pad bedding procedures after installation.
Quality Assurance
DFC rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and balanced where required. The coated rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
