Detailed Description

R1 Concepts 2551-1613-00 is a rear disc brake pad set built for BMW drivers who need OE-style replacement pads for everyday braking service. The R1 Optimum OE Pads line covers a broad range of rear brake applications across BMW 2 Series, 3 Series, and 4 Series models, including sedan, coupe, Gran Coupe, GT, and xDrive configurations where listed. This makes it a practical match for routine brake maintenance on vehicles such as the BMW 328i, BMW 430i, and BMW 230i.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Reasons to Replace

• Squealing or noisy rear brakes
• Reduced braking response from worn pad material
• Brake warning light triggered by pad wear sensor service
• Uneven rear pad wear during routine maintenance
• Brake vibration caused by pads worn beyond service limits

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle fitment by model, year, and drivetrain before ordering. Most listed applications require brake pad wear sensor BPS-31067; the 2013 BMW 328i xDrive rear application requires BPS-31060. Inspect rotors, caliper hardware, and sensor condition during pad replacement, and confirm the pad shape matches the vehicle’s rear brake setup.

Quality Assurance

R1 Concepts R1 Optimum OE Pads are cataloged as OE-style replacement brake pads for the listed BMW rear applications. Part number 2551-1613-00 is intended for direct fitment verification against the vehicle’s brake system and sensor requirements.
