PowerStop Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Front Brake Pads for BMW E36 — Overview
These are PowerStop's Z23 series front brake pads, built around a carbon-fiber ceramic compound that sits between a basic OE replacement and a full performance pad. They're a direct fit for E36 chassis cars - specifically the 318i, 318is, and 318ti from 1991-1998, plus the 323i and 323Ci from 1998-2000. Hardware is included, which matters on the E36 because the OEM clips are almost certainly corroded and past due for replacement. The Z23 compound runs cleaner than a lot of semi-metallic pads, which helps if you want to keep your 15- or 16-inch E36 wheels looking decent between washes.
