BMW 740il Brake Pads: Compare at The Parts Bin

When it comes to BMW 740iL brake pads, you have two basic choices: metallic, or non-metallic. 740iL brake pads are made of a thick frictional lining that is either riveted or glued onto a metal backing plate. The difference in types of BMW 740iL brake pads can be found in the lining.

Metallic 740iL brake pads are made with powdered metal, typically bronze or copper, blended with friction-enhancing fillers. Non-metallic BMW 740iL brake pads are made with high-temperature resins along with organic fillers.

Non-metallic 740iL brake pads are also referred to as "soft" or "organic. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of BMW 740iL brake pads.

With metallic 740iL brake pads, the lining is tougher and therefore lasts longer. Also, metallic BMW 740iL brake pads provide greater stopping power. However, the drawback to using metallic 740iL brake pads is that they cause more wear on your brake rotors, and rotors are typically more expensive to replace than your BMW 740iL brake pads. Organic 740iL brake pads, on the other hand, are good to your rotors. As long as you change your soft BMW 740iL brake pads when it becomes necessary, your brake rotors will last for quite a while. Of course, that means the down side to soft or organic 740iL brake pads is that you must change them more frequently. In many cases the replacement costs of BMW 740iL brake pads versus brake rotors balances out in the end, so you should determine which type of 740iL brake pads you are more comfortable driving with.We stock a full line of metallic and non-metallic BMW 740iL brake pads in our extensive online catalogue.
