I bought my new to me F57 last year. I received a warning that I needed new rear brake pads. I ordered them and went to install them today, but they are the wrong style. When I put my info in numerous sites, it keeps showing the wrong pads. Anyone know why? And which ones I need? Pic for reference. New pads that don't fit are in the box and the old brake pads are on the edges of the box.

 

What trim level is your car? The OEM pads look like JCW pads to me…

 

Agreed, but it is just an S.

 

Did some more research, and it looks like the new pads are for cars with manual parking brake, and your car has an electronic brake?

Your OEM part number would be

34201543683

It has an EPB! Yeah, I'm so confused.

 

I always check https://realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select for OEM part numbers before buying any parts for my Minis. Even if I'm not buying parts direct from Mini, it helps know that I'm getting what I need. It an excellent resource.

Here are the two rear brake diagrams for your car:

Yep, MINI decided to change things up with the EPB on the 2022-2024 models F56. So those years you have to watch. ON the JCWs for 2024 it was like on all of them for the USA.

 

Thanks for the info!!!
