Installation instructions for BREMBO 09.A259.1X

1. Replace brake discs in pairs to ensure balanced braking performance across both wheels.

2. Remove the wheels and carefully detach the brake caliper. Support the caliper securely to prevent stress on the brake hose.

3. Remove the old disc: loosen the retaining screw using appropriate tools. If seized, apply penetrating oil and gently tap with a rubber mallet.

4. Thoroughly clean the hub surface, removing all rust, dirt, and debris before installing the new BREMBO disc.

5. Install the new perforated disc and fresh brake pads, ensuring proper alignment and torquing all fasteners to BMW specifications.

6. After installation, pump the brake pedal several times to seat the pads and check brake fluid level.

7. Bedding-in: perform 8–12 gentle braking cycles from 80 to 30 km/h, allowing cooling between applications to develop optimal friction characteristics.

FAQ: BREMBO Xtra Brake Disc 09.A259.1X

Do the brake pads need to be replaced at the same time as the BREMBO brake disc 09.A259.1X?

Yes, it is strongly recommended to replace brake pads together with new BREMBO brake discs. This ensures optimal surface contact, prevents premature wear, and maximizes the performance benefits of the perforated design.

Is the BREMBO brake disc 09.A259.1X ventilated or solid?

This brake disc is both perforated and ventilated. The combination of internal cooling vanes and precision-drilled holes provides enhanced heat dissipation, making it ideal for performance-oriented BMW driving.

How should new brake discs be properly bedded in?

During the first 300 km, perform moderate braking and avoid emergency stops. The perforated surface requires proper bedding-in to achieve optimal friction layer development and maximum performance potential.

What is the outer diameter and thickness of this brake disc?

The outer diameter is 330 mm with a thickness of 24 mm – specifically engineered for BMW's front brake systems to provide enhanced stopping power and thermal management.

Is this brake disc suitable for vehicles with ABS?

Yes, the BREMBO Xtra 09.A259.1X is compatible with BMW vehicles equipped with ABS, DSC, and other electronic brake assistance systems. The disc maintains OEM specifications for proper system integration.

Do I need special tools to install the BREMBO brake disc?

No special tools are required beyond standard automotive equipment. However, a torque wrench is essential to ensure proper tightening of all fasteners according to BMW specifications.

What are the advantages of the BREMBO brake disc 09.A259.1X compared to other models?

The BREMBO Xtra series offers superior cooling through its perforated design, reduced weight, enhanced pedal feel, and improved wet-weather performance. The precision manufacturing ensures consistent performance and extended service life compared to standard brake discs.

Can the perforated design cause increased brake pad wear?

When properly bedded-in and used with quality brake pads, the perforated design actually can promote more even wear patterns. Its enhanced cooling properties may help to extend both disc and pad life under normal driving conditions.

Is the BREMBO 09.A259.1X suitable for track day use?

Yes, the perforated and ventilated design makes this disc well-suited for occasional track-day use. Its enhanced cooling capabilities help to reduce brake fade during repeated hard braking typical of circuit driving.

How do I maintain the perforated brake discs properly?

Regular cleaning to remove brake dust and debris from the holes is recommended. Avoid high-pressure washing directly at the disc surface, and inspect regularly for any signs of cracking around the perforations.
