Intended Use and BMW Fitment

The presented caliper is designed as a braking system component installed on the rear right side of BMW vehicles from the E81, E87, E90, and E91 series. Thanks to its construction, which complies with the manufacturer's factory standards, it ensures proper positioning relative to the disc, correct piston operation, and even pressure from the brake pads.

Its original origin from the Brake Calipers and Brackets group means that the mounting geometry, threads, and brake line connection points are consistent with BMW's factory solutions, facilitating installation and reducing the risk of compatibility issues.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

The caliper operates within the hydraulic system of the rear axle, responsible for converting brake fluid pressure into clamping force of the pads against the disc. Its placement on the vehicle as rear – right side allows for unambiguous identification of the mounting position and eliminates the risk of errors when selecting the component.

Key functional features of this caliper include:

• factory fit to the hub and bracket on the rear right side,
• maintenance of correct braking force on the rear axle,
• compatibility with standard BMW brake discs and pads,
• design intended for operation with the standard ABS/ESP system used in these BMW generations.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Caliper

Using an original brake caliper in BMW E81, E87, E90, and E91 models allows for maintaining braking performance consistent with the manufacturer's specifications. This translates to predictable vehicle behavior during braking, proper force distribution between axles, and correct interaction with stability control systems.

By choosing this component, you gain:

• guaranteed fitment without the need for modifications,
• maintenance of the original brake pedal feel,
• easier diagnostics and future servicing due to compliance with BMW documentation,
• the possibility of cost-effective brake system repair while retaining OEM components.

Condition, Verification, and Purchase Safety

This component is from the BMW parts group and is offered as used, which helps reduce repair costs while maintaining original construction. Before installation, the standard service procedure is recommended: checking for leaks, smooth piston operation, and the condition of surfaces interacting with the pads and bracket.
