Installation instructions for ATE 24.0124-0231.2

1. Replace brake discs in pairs to ensure balanced braking performance across the axle.
2. Remove the wheels and carefully detach the calliper. Support the calliper securely to prevent stress on the brake hose.
3. Remove the old disc by loosening the Torx retaining screw. If it is seized, apply penetrating oil and gently tap with a rubber mallet.
4. Thoroughly clean the hub surface of rust, dirt and old residue before installing the new disc.
5. Install the new ATE 24.0124-0231.2 Brake Disc and replace the brake pads at the same time, then tighten the retaining screw to BMW specifications.
6. After installation, pump the brake pedal several times to seat the pads and check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
7. Bedding-in: perform 8–12 moderate braking cycles from 80 to 30 km/h to help the friction layer develop evenly on the perforated surface.

Do the brake pads need to be replaced at the same time as the ATE 24.0124-0231.2 Brake Disc?

It is strongly recommended to replace the brake pads when installing new brake discs. This helps to ensure proper contact between the pads and the perforated disc surface, supporting consistent braking performance and component longevity.

Is the ATE 24.0124-0231.2 Brake Disc suitable for BMW E90 and E92 models?

The ATE 24.0124-0231.2 Brake Disc is suitable for many versions of the BMW E90, E91, E92 and E93 models, provided the vehicle is equipped with the 350 mm front brake system. It is intended to offer reliable fitment and can provide enhanced performance characteristics compared with standard solid discs.

What are the benefits of the perforated design on the BMW E82?

The perforated design can help improve heat dissipation, may reduce the risk of brake fade under heavy use, and helps to evacuate brake dust and gases. This can be particularly beneficial for the BMW E82 model during more spirited driving.

How should new brake discs be properly bedded in?

During the first 300 km, avoid aggressive braking and allow gradual heat cycling. Perform moderate stops from highway speeds, allowing cooling between applications to develop an optimal friction layer on the perforated surface.

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

The ATE 24.0124-0231.2 Brake Disc features an outer diameter of 350.0 mm and thickness of 24.0 mm, making it suitably sized for BMW 3 Series and 1 Series models that use this front brake disc specification.

Is this brake disc suitable for vehicles with ABS and DSC systems?

Yes, the ATE 24.0124-0231.2 two-part brake disc is compatible with BMW vehicles equipped with ABS, DSC, and other electronic stability systems, provided the disc matches the required brake specifications. It is intended to offer correct fitment when used on compatible BMW models.

Do I need special tools to install the ATE 24.0124-0231.2 Brake Disc?

Standard automotive tools are sufficient, including Torx drivers for BMW-specific fasteners. A torque wrench is essential for proper installation according to BMW specifications, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

What are the advantages of the ATE 424231 Brake Disc compared to other models?

The two-part perforated/vented design offers superior heat management, reduced weight compared to solid discs, enhanced cooling efficiency, and improved brake modulation – making it ideal for performance-oriented BMW driving.

Can this brake disc handle track day use on BMW 3 Series models?

The perforated and vented design, combined with the disc’s durable construction, can cope with occasional track day use on compatible BMW 3 Series models. However, dedicated track-oriented brake pads are recommended for sustained or high-intensity driving sessions.

How long do these brake discs typically last on BMW vehicles?

With proper bedding-in and normal driving conditions, the ATE 424231 brake disc typically provides 60,000-80,000 km of service life, though this varies based on driving style, vehicle weight, and maintenance practices.
