Endless Brake Pads for F22 BMW M235i
Endless’s Brake Pads for F22 BMW M235i suit the N55-powered coupe BMW sold in the US for the 2014 to 2016 model years. Every M235i came with M Sport brakes as standard, blue four-piston calipers at the front and two-piston calipers at the rear, and Endless lists EIP206 and EIP224 for them. That front shape is also the one Endless lists for the F80 M3, so this 2 Series shares its front pad with a full M car. For an M235i that commutes during the week and runs track days on weekends, MX72 Plus is our recommendation.
Features
- Pad shapes EIP206 front and EIP224 rear for the factory M Sport calipers
- Street and street-to-track compounds SSM Plus, MX72, MX72 Plus and CC-Rg
- Racing Group of fifteen compounds plus W003 and S330, each for either axle
- MA45B endurance racing compound for the rear axle
- Front, Rear and Front and Rear Set choices in every other compound
Choosing a Compound
On an M235i used every day, SSM Plus gives the cleanest wheels and the quietest stops, and Endless does not offer SSS in these shapes. MX72 handles spirited road driving and the odd track day, while MX72 Plus is the better match for a coupe that runs several events a season on street tires. CC-Rg is for owners at the circuit most months who can live with noise on the road, and the racing options are for a car prepared for competition. Endless prices MA45B for EIP224 only, so it is offered for the rear axle. W007 and W008 are left off because Endless designs both for carbon ceramic rotors, and the M235i has iron rotors.
Every figure below is Endless’s own. Friction is the compound’s average friction coefficient, so a higher number gives more bite for the same pedal pressure. The rotor range is the band of rotor temperatures Endless designs the compound to work in, so choose by the temperatures your car will see.
Street and street-to-track compounds
- SSM Plus (street): non-asbestos; friction 0.33-0.40; rotor range 0-550C (32-1022F). Low dust, low noise and long life. Braking builds with pedal pressure rather than a sharp first bite, for drivers who want clean wheels and a quiet car.
- MX72 (street to light track): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.37-0.47; rotor range 50-700C (122-1292F). Minimal noise and dust, strong friction at low temperatures, reduced rotor wear and a better pedal feel than a typical semi-metallic pad. Endless’s dual-duty compound for a road car that sees the occasional track day.
- MX72 Plus (street to circuit): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.39-0.47; rotor range 50-750C (122-1382F). Holds its braking force to higher temperatures than MX72, with stable control and a consistent pedal release. Endless aims it at cars on street tires that run on track.
- CC-Rg (track day, street capable): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.38-0.45; rotor range 50-800C (122-1472F). High initial bite across a wide temperature range, even when cold, and modulation that works with the factory ABS under hard use. Endless notes it is noisy on the street; it is the step up from MX72 Plus for regular track days.
Racing compounds
Each option below is one choice in the Choose Compound menu. For a group, name your compound in the order notes and Bulletproof Automotive confirms it with your order. Every racing compound needs Endless’s bedding procedure: at 70 to 80 percent of normal pedal effort, bring the rotors gradually to 400C (752F), then let them cool below 150C (302F) before hard use.
Racing Group
- ME22: dual braking style; friction 0.33-0.38; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). Developed from ME20 with lower friction for control, for light to mid-weight cars or heavier cars on slower circuits. Endless rates it for street and track.
- ME20: trail-braking style; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). High, stable friction at high temperature with low wear, developed for touring cars and rally. Works front or rear, with stock or racing ABS.
- N35S: trail-braking style; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Quick, sharp and responsive, with stable modulation under high temperature and load. Endless’s flagship rally compound, also run in FIA GT, and its suggested starting point for drivers new to Endless racing pads.
- N05U: trail-braking style; friction 0.46-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). More bite than N35S, popular in sprint-focused Porsche Cup cars.
- N05S: trail-braking style; friction 0.45-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Immediate high friction with little pedal effort, used in Japanese rally cars without brake boosters and in European and Australian sprint racing.
- N30C: friction 0.50-0.60; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). High initial bite, gentle on rotors and low wear. A rally compound for cars without a brake booster.
- MS20: friction 0.32-0.38; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). A low-friction rear pad with a flat torque curve and long life, for club racing cars.
- MS25: friction 0.36-0.42; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). Warms up gradually even under heavy braking. Endless pairs it with a higher-friction pad to prevent lock-up.
- MS35: friction 0.45-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Mid to high initial bite with good modulation and control, a sprint pad for a wide range of conditions.
- ML20A: friction 0.30-0.33; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). A rear compound with lower initial bite to prevent rear lock-up, for lightweight GT cars.
- ML35A: friction 0.30-0.38; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Slightly lower friction with excellent modulation and wear, for lighter GT cars.
- ML40A: friction 0.32-0.47; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Moderate friction that resists lock-up, an endurance compound.
- S55G: Endless publishes no figures. It suits lightweight and front-wheel-drive cars, and the rear of front-wheel-drive cars, with high controllability.
- PC35: Endless publishes no figures. More bite than N35S with high braking force and a stable pedal; Endless’s base pad for rally raid.
- S41S: Endless publishes no figures. Developed for GT cars, including GT3, under high brake loads.
Sold as their own options
- W003: trail-braking style; friction 0.40-0.45. Similar in character to N35S with better wear, tough and stable at high temperature with a linear torque curve; run in rally, touring cars, ALMS and PWC. Circuit only: Endless does not recommend it for the street and notes high rotor wear when cold.
- S330: trail-braking style; friction 0.60-0.70; rotor range 300-850C (572-1562F). High friction for sprint racing, with good control at high levels and without accelerating rotor wear; run in Super GT, stock cars and GT2 and GT3 sprint racing.
- MA45B: standard braking style; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Endless’s endurance compound: low friction but stable for a whole race, with excellent heat resistance and wear. Most Nurburgring and Spa 24 Hours entrants run it. Offered for the rear axle only on this car.

Notes
- Each Front or Rear set of Brake Pads for F22 M235i coupes covers both wheels on one axle
- Endless lists the F22 coupe; owners of an F23 M235i convertible should check with Bulletproof Automotive before ordering
- For the factory M Sport brakes; a car converted to an aftermarket big brake kit takes the pads for those calipers
- The M240i that replaced the M235i in 2016 takes the same Endless shapes and has its own listing
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do the Endless Brake Pads for F22 coupes fit every M235i? Yes. The M235i came with M Sport brakes as standard, and Endless lists EIP206 front and EIP224 rear for the F22 built from 2014 to 2016, so the Endless Brake Pads for F22 coupes match the factory calipers on each one. Endless names only the coupe, so the owner of an F23 convertible should check with Bulletproof Automotive before ordering.
- Which Endless compound is best for an M235i at HPDE events? MX72 Plus for most drivers on street tires. Endless built it for cars that run on track on street rubber and rates it to 750C, or 1382F, with a consistent release as the pedal comes up. Once the coupe is on stickier tires or at the track monthly, CC-Rg holds higher bite and works with the factory ABS under hard use, at the cost of road noise.
- Which Endless pads are quietest on an M235i? SSM Plus. It is the street compound Endless makes for these shapes, designed for a quiet car and clean wheels, with long pad life. MX72 is nearly as civil on the road and copes with far hotter rotors. Keep CC-Rg and the racing compounds off a daily driver, since Endless describes CC-Rg as noisy on the street.
- Is there a discount for buying front and rear Endless pads together? No. On EIP206 and EIP224, Endless does not offer a combo set, so the Front and Rear Set costs the same as one front set plus one rear set. Buying both at once still means one order and one compound choice for the whole car. MA45B is the exception to the set option, as it is sold for the rear axle only.
- Does the M240i use the same Endless pads as the M235i? Yes. The F22 M240i built from 2016 to 2021 takes the same EIP206 front and EIP224 rear shapes. The G42 M240i that followed takes different Endless pads. Bulletproof Automotive lists the F22 M240i on its own page so its years and engine are shown correctly, and pads from either listing fit both F22 cars.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well.
For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at
