Endless Brake Pads for F98 BMW X4 M
Endless’s Brake Pads for F98 BMW X4 M cover the coupe-roofed M model and the X4 M Competition from 2020 to 2024, both powered by the twin-turbo S58 six and both sharing the X3 M front brake hardware, 395mm rotors included. Endless lists EIP302 at the front and EIP217 at the rear, and that rear shape also appears in its list for the G80 M3 and G82 M4. The compounds listed here cover an X4 M used for commuting as well as one prepared for the circuit. Our recommendation for an X4 M on the road is MX72; for track days on street tires, MX72 Plus.
Features
- Endless pad shapes EIP302 front and EIP217 rear, the pair Endless lists for the X4 M and X4 M Competition
- SSM Plus, MX72, MX72 Plus and CC-Rg, each for either axle
- Racing Group of fifteen compounds, with W003, S330 and MA45B as separate options
- Front and Rear Sets in all eight options, priced as a front set plus a rear set
Choosing a Compound
SSM Plus suits an X4 M that mostly commutes, and it is the cleanest choice here because Endless does not make SSS for EIP302. MX72 is the better road pad for an owner who uses the S58 hard, MX72 Plus takes over for track days on street tires, and CC-Rg is for an X4 M lapping most months. The Racing Group, W003, S330 and MA45B go beyond what a road vehicle needs and suit a prepared one. W007 and W008, though priced by Endless for these shapes, stay off the listing because Endless designs both for carbon ceramic rotors, and the X4 M pads here are for 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.
Applications
- BMW X4 M: F98 | 2020-2024 | 3.0L S58

Notes
- Each Front or Rear set of Brake Pads for F98 X4 M models covers both wheels on one axle
- Not for the G02 X4 M40i, which takes EP535 at the front and has its own listing
- The F97 X3 M and X3 M Competition take the same Endless shapes and have their own listing
- For the factory brakes; an X4 M converted to an aftermarket big brake kit takes the pads for those calipers
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do the Endless Brake Pads for F98 fit every X4 M from 2020 to 2024? Yes. Endless lists EIP302 front and EIP217 rear for the X4 M and the X4 M Competition without splitting by year or trim, so the Endless Brake Pads for F98 models fit any of them on the factory brakes. An X4 M converted to an aftermarket big brake kit takes the pads for those calipers, so check before ordering.
- Do the X4 M pads also fit the X4 M40i? No. The M40i takes EP535 at the front, a different shape from the EIP302 on the X4 M, so the two need different front pads even though both use EIP217 at the rear. Bulletproof Automotive sells the M40i pads on their own listing, and ordering from the right one avoids a front set that will not fit.
- What is the best Endless compound for an X4 M on track days? MX72 Plus, for a vehicle on street tires that sees a handful of events a year; Endless rates it to 750C, or 1382F. An X4 M on track most months should run CC-Rg, rated to 800C, or 1472F, with strong bite from cold and modulation that suits the factory ABS. Endless warns that CC-Rg is noisy on the road.
- Who should choose MA45B for an X4 M? An owner preparing the vehicle for long track sessions. MA45B is the Endless endurance compound, low in friction but stable over a whole race with excellent heat resistance and wear, and most Nurburgring and Spa 24 Hours entrants run it. It needs the Endless bedding procedure and gives nothing extra on the road, where SSM Plus or MX72 work better.
- Will SSM Plus reduce brake dust on an X4 M? Yes. SSM Plus is the lowest-dust compound Endless offers in EIP302 and EIP217, as SSS is not made in these shapes, and Endless pairs that with low noise and long life. Its braking builds progressively through the pedal. Owners who want a stronger response with little extra dust can step up to MX72.

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
