The Story
Brake Kit for BMW 740i and 740iL
Restore braking performance on select BMW full-size sedans with the DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Low Metallic and Hardware Kit, part number 4514-31018. This front and rear disc brake kit is built for 1995-2001 BMW 740i and 740iL applications and combines coated rotors, low metallic pads, and matching brake hardware in one service package.
For BMW 740i and BMW 740iL owners looking for a complete brake service solution, 4514-31018 is designed to support quieter stops, consistent pedal feel, and corrosion resistance on the rotor surfaces.
Key Features
- Complete disc brake kit for front and rear service
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced low metallic brake pads with post-cured and scorched friction material
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel components
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- OE-style rotor construction using G3000/G11H18 cast iron specification
Product Details
The DFC brand line combines coated rotors, advanced friction material, and service hardware to simplify a full brake refresh. The rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. Each rotor is machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and vented rotors are balanced for stable operation. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for consistent friction performance and are assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise and vibration. The included hardware kit is engineered to replace worn or corroded brake hardware that can contribute to uneven wear and caliper movement.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weakened hardware
- Rotor rust buildup on exposed braking surfaces
- Reduced stopping consistency from aged brake components
- Longer brake service time caused by unprepared rotors
Installation Notes
Compatible With 1995 BMW 740i, front and rear; 1997-2001 BMW 740i, front and rear; and 1995-2001 BMW 740iL, front and rear. Verify rotor size, pad shape, and brake hardware configuration before installation. Clean the rotor friction surface only as needed during handling, and follow standard brake bedding procedures after installation to help establish even pad transfer.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that each rotor is inspected against critical OE specifications, and all rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched to support stable friction performance from the first stop.
