Akebono EUR1170 ProACT Ultra-Premium Ceramic Rear Brake Pads for BMW E46 — Overview

These are Akebono's ProACT ceramic rear pads, sized to fit the E46 3 Series - that covers 323i, 325i, 328i, 330i, and the M3 crowd should verify fitment separately since rear caliper sizing varies. Ceramic compound means lower dust output than the stock-style semi-metallics, and they run quieter on daily driven cars. If your E46 is a weekend track toy, look elsewhere - ceramic pads generally underperform when heat builds up in a serious way. For street and occasional spirited driving though, these do what they're supposed to without drama.
