Give your BMW i3 the confident stopping power it deserves with the TRW COTEC GDB2038 brake pad set. Built to original-equipment standards for the I01 platform, these premium disc pads deliver strong, predictable braking performance on electric, hybrid and range extender variants. The COTEC friction layer helps the pads bed-in quickly after installation, so you get assured bite and smooth pedal feel from the very first journeys.
