EBC Ultimax OEM Replacement Brake Pads for BMW 3 Series (2001-2005) – Part UD683

Description

The EBC Ultimax UD683 brake pads are engineered as a high-quality OEM replacement option for BMW 3 Series models from 2001 to 2005, including the 330i, 330xi, and M3 (E46). Manufactured in the UK at EBC’s Bristol facility, these pads feature a precisely formulated brake compound designed to provide reliable and consistent braking performance for daily driving and urban use. The Ultimax pads are distinguished by their low dust production, minimal rotor wear, and broad heat range capability, making them an excellent choice for drivers seeking value without compromising safety and quality.
Constructed with a small percentage of steel fiber, the Ultimax pads strike a balance between affordability and durability. This optimized fiber blend enhances pad longevity and performance, setting it apart from competitors that may contain significantly higher steel fiber content. Once properly bedded in, these pads deliver confident braking response across various driving conditions, ensuring safety and peace of mind. They are fully ECE R90 approved, aligning with international safety standards, and offer a cost-effective alternative to OEM parts—costing less than half the price of original equipment while maintaining the same safety and performance levels.
Designed with features such as shimmed, slotted, and chamfered surfaces, the Ultimax pads optimize contact with the rotor, reducing noise and vibration during braking. They are supplied with OE hardware, simplifying installation and ensuring compatibility with your vehicle’s existing brake system. These pads are suitable for vented or solid rotors with diameters ranging from approximately 12 to 20 inches, making them versatile for various BMW 3 Series configurations. Proper installation and brake maintenance are crucial; it is recommended to have the pads installed by a professional mechanic or to consult the EBC installation DVD for guidance if qualified.
Whether for routine replacement or enhancing your vehicle’s braking response, the EBC Ultimax UD683 offers a reliable, long-lasting, and high-performing brake solution designed to meet European specifications and provide excellent value for everyday drivers.
