- Rotor paths on file: 18 inch 345/355 mm, 19 inch 380 mm and 20 inch 380/400 mm. They stay planning references.

What an F25 Buyer Settles Before This Kit Is Quoted
One product sits on this page: a front 6-piston brake caliper kit for the BMW X3 F25, 2010–2017, built around the Akebono 8N caliper.
Two questions decide the order. Does the car match F25 with its exact year, trim and original front brake package? Does the wheel clear the rotor path once the real spoke shape and inner barrel are measured? A record from an F48, F49 or G01 chassis answers neither question, because those platforms mount differently.
Parking brake: this SKU is a front axle product. No rear caliper, rear rotor or parking-brake part is included, and the rear parking-brake field stays blank.
Vehicle and Wheel Record Review
| Control field | On the record now | Send with the RFQ |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle identity | BMW X3 F25, 2010–2017; exact trim To be confirmed | VIN sent privately, or the exact year and trim |
| Original front brakes | Not on the record yet | Caliper, rotor and mounting data from the car, or clear photos |
| OEM wheel | Checked against the vehicle specification | The wheel size from the vehicle record |
| Aftermarket wheel | ET and J still required | ET, J, spoke photos and inner-barrel photos |
| Rotor interface | Diameters on file; other dimensions To be confirmed | Approval of thickness, hat height, offset, centre bore and PCD |
Send the VIN through the RFQ form, not in a public comment. The number stays out of the page, the quotation and the packing list.
Rotor Path Planning Matrix
Planning table only. It approves no fitment, and a wheel diameter on its own never releases a rotor.
| Wheel | Rotor path on file | Measure before release |
|---|---|---|
| 18 inch | 345/355 mm | The original front brake interface, plus the real spoke and barrel clearance |
| 19 inch | 380 mm | Wheel design, hub face position and final rotor position |
| 20 inch | 380/400 mm | Which of the two diameters is wanted, then ET, J and caliper clearance |
Two mistakes to avoid. Reading the wheel diameter as proof of clearance. Copying another chassis record onto an F25 order.
Kit Composition and Interfaces
| Component | Qty | Interface still to check |
|---|---|---|
| Akebono 8N calipers | 2 | Mounting position, pad springs and hose ports |
| Adapter brackets | 2 | Bracket geometry; parts are made to the original specification |
| Rotors | 2 | The chosen diameter checked against the hub face and wheel envelope |
| Brake pads | 4 | Pad shape against the caliper body |
| Brake hoses | 2 | Fitting type, routing and clearance on full lock |
Installation route: the kit is built to the original specification. No bridge, hose or other mounting part is changed. Tell us about a modified car before the order and the request is checked on its own.
Materials on File
- Calipers, hats and adapter brackets follow the shared 6061/6082 caliper-body and 6061/7075-T6 hat and bracket rule.
- Rotors follow high-carbon cast iron and pads use ceramic friction material.
- Those three lines are project standards, not a measurement of this kit.
No drawing, material certificate or performance test for this SKU was supplied.
Terminology reference: Akebono high-performance calipers. It explains opposed-piston caliper naming and proves nothing about this kit.
Buyer Routes and Commercial Terms
Buyer routes
Importers and distributors hold to the SKU and the approved order record so the components stay matched. Workshops send brake and wheel measurements before a rotor path is chosen. Retail buyers confirm year, trim and wheel before payment.
Commercial terms
MOQ is 1 set. Production runs 3–7 business days after the 30% deposit clears, and delivery takes about 20–35 business days. The warranty covers manufacturing and quality defects for 5 years.
Questions Buyers Ask Before an RFQ
Does one rotor path fit every BMW X3 F25?
Not automatically. The wheel and the original front brake package decide. Until both are checked, the 18 inch, 19 inch and 20 inch rows stay planning references.
Which rotor dimensions are still open?
Thickness, hat height, offset, centre bore and PCD. Final wheel clearance also stays open.
Can I buy the calipers on their own?
This Product Record defines one front axle kit. A calipers-only option is not defined, so ask for a separate review before you plan around it.
Do the photos on this page identify the caliper model?
No. They show appearance only. One photo carries an R8 marking, which is not an Akebono 8N verification, and no photo proves fitment on an F25.
How is the kit packed, and how heavy is it?
Standard export packaging; carton dimensions are To be confirmed. Gross weight is about 40 kg on the record and is set by a final measurement.
Request a fitment review. Send the vehicle and wheel record with the RFQ, and the quotation is built after that review.
Reference Photos and Next Step
These photos come from the supply side and the packing line. They show the shape of the parts and the boxes. They prove no fitment on an F25 and they identify no caliper model.
