Bendix broadens range to suit BMW, MB and VW

Owners of selected BMW and Mercedes Benz models, now have greater choice when it comes to their braking components, with Bendix introducing new brake pad shapes to its Euro+™ range to suit these vehicles.

Applicable models include 2019MY Mercedes Benz A Class, GLA and GLB (W177 / H247 and X247) with AMG Sport Brakes, and 2019 W177 / H247 without AMG Sport Brake, for which new front options are available.

Rear Euro+™ brake pad options have also been released for A Class and GLB variants (W177 / X247) of the same era, with pad shapes being introduced for models both with and without AMG Sport Brakes.

Moving from Stuttgart to Bavaria, Bendix has also focused on selected G20 BMW 3 Series models, with rear Euro+™ options released for 320i and 330i, both with and without M Sports braking package. The M135i has also been included in the range expansion with a rear option now available for the baby M car. Elsewhere in the BMW stable, a new rear option for the X3 (G01) has been launched as well.

EURO+ disc brake pads are a proven, high performing aftermarket alternative to OE components. The pads meet ECE Regulation 90 that specifies the design, construction, performance requirements and test protocols for strict European regulations. Other benefits are low dust operation that helps keep rims cleaner, and braking performance that in most cases exceeds OE equivalents. Brake wear sensors for these new brake pad releases must be purchased separately.

Euro+™ Brake Kits for VW Golf and Tiguan  
Launched in September last year, Euro+™ Kits offer convenience for installers, by providing high quality Euro+™ disc brake rotors and pads as well as brake wear sensors*, in a single package, along with cost benefits compared to buying the braking components individually. Since releasing the kits, Bendix has been working to extend its coverage, and has now released rear kit options for VW Golf and Tiguan (MK7 and MK7.5 from 2017 onwards.

Each kit includes two brake rotors and pad sets, wear sensors* along with a Euro+™ merchandise bundle that contains microfibre glass and screen cleaning cloths and a keyring.
