The Story
Rear Brake Kit for BMW X5 and X6
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit for select BMW X5 and BMW X6 applications. Part number 4512-31285 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching brake hardware for a complete rear brake service.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit for select 2010-2014 BMW X6 and 2010-2013 BMW X5 applications
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without additional preparation
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
- Brake hardware designed with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
- Part number 4512-31285 for rear brake service on BMW X5 and BMW X6 models
Product Details
DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is built to OE-style specifications using G3000/G11H18 cast iron, then machined to tight tolerances and finished for balanced, quiet operation. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry-ready design saves prep time during installation. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post-cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in requirements and deliver stable friction performance from the first stop. This rear brake kit is a practical choice for BMW X5 rear brake replacement and BMW X6 rear brake service when you want rotors, pads, and hardware matched in one package. Part number 4512-31285 is also a useful reference when searching for a BMW X5 rear brake kit or BMW X6 rear brake kit with coated rotors.
What This Kit Helps Address
- Rear brake noise, squeal, or vibration
- Rust buildup on rotor surfaces and rotor hats
- Uneven pad wear from fatigued brake hardware
- Reduced braking smoothness during stop-and-go driving
- Longer service time caused by rotor prep and cleaning
Installation Notes
Fits 2010-2014 BMW X6, rear, compatible with aluminum hat rotors designed to original specifications; includes Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor. Fits 2010-2014 BMW X6, rear, optional design for full cast disc brake rotors. Fits 2010-2013 BMW X5, rear, compatible with aluminum hat rotors designed to original specifications; includes Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor. Fits 2010-2013 BMW X5, rear, optional design for full cast disc brake rotors. Verify rotor style and rear axle configuration before installation. Clean mating surfaces, follow proper torque procedures, and complete a full brake bed-in after installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Quality Assurance
DFC GEOSPEC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, with vented rotors electronically mill-balanced when required. Each rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-31285 is built for consistent rear brake performance on BMW X5 and BMW X6 service applications.
