- Caliper record: 2 x Akebono 9N, six pistons each.

What a G01 Buyer Settles Before This Kit Is Quoted
One product sits on this page: a front axle kit for the BMW X3 G01, built around two Akebono 9N calipers with six pistons each.
Two things settle the order. Does the car match G01, with its exact model year and the front brake package fitted at the factory? Does the rotor path you pick clear the wheel that is actually on the car? Spoke shape, inner barrel and offset answer the second question; the diameter printed on the sidewall does not.
Front axle only: nothing in this kit touches the rear axle, so no rear caliper, rear rotor or parking-brake part is supplied. Electronic parking brake work belongs to a separate rear enquiry.
Vehicle and Wheel Record Review
| Control field | On the record now | Send with the RFQ |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle identity | BMW X3 G01; exact model year and trim To be confirmed | VIN by private message, or the exact year and trim |
| Original front brakes | Not on the record yet | The caliper, rotor and mounting details from the car, or clear photos |
| OEM wheel | Checked against the vehicle record | Wheel size taken from the vehicle record |
| Aftermarket wheel | ET and J still required | ET, J and photos of the spokes and inner barrel |
| Rotor interface | Diameter plans on file; other dimensions To be confirmed | Sign-off on thickness, hat height, centre bore and PCD |
Keep the VIN inside the enquiry form. It is never printed on this page, in the quotation or on the packing list.
Rotor Path Planning Matrix
Use this table to plan, not to approve. Wheel size by itself decides nothing about rotor release.
| Wheel | Rotor path on file | Measure before release |
|---|---|---|
| 19 inch | 380 mm | Original front brake interface and the measured spoke and barrel clearance |
| 20 inch | 380 or 400 mm | Which diameter is wanted, then ET, J and caliper clearance |
| 21 inch | 400 or 410 mm | The same measurements plus the rotor position on the hub face |
Two traps catch buyers here: taking diameter for clearance, and applying another X3 generation’s record to a G01 build.
Kit Composition and Interfaces
| Component | Qty | Interface still to check |
|---|---|---|
| Akebono 9N calipers | 2 | Mounting points, pad springs and hose ports |
| Adapter brackets | 2 | Bracket geometry; supplied to the original specification |
| Rotors | 2 | Chosen diameter against the hub face and wheel envelope |
| Brake pads | 4 | Pad shape fit inside the caliper body |
| Brake hoses | 2 | Fitting type, routing and clearance at full lock |
Build route: the parts follow the original specification, so the bridge, the hoses and the other mounting hardware stay as supplied. A modified car needs its own review, so mention the changes before ordering. A calipers-only option does not exist in this record.
Materials on File
Project-wide material rules apply here: 6061 or 6082 aluminum alloy for the caliper bodies and 6061 or 7075-T6 aluminum for the hats and brackets, high-carbon cast iron for the rotors, and ceramic friction material for the pads. Read them as shared specifications, not as a measurement taken from this kit. Nothing for this SKU has arrived in the form of a drawing, a certificate or a test result.
For naming, use the Akebono high-performance caliper page. It covers opposed-piston wording and carries no evidence about this kit.
Buyer Routes and Commercial Terms
Buyer routes
Distributors work from the SKU and the approved order record to keep each component matched. Workshops measure the brake package and the wheel before a rotor path is fixed. Retail buyers confirm year, trim and wheel ahead of payment.
Commercial terms
The order starts at 1 set. Once the 30% deposit clears, production takes 3–7 business days and delivery about 20–35 business days. Defects in manufacturing or quality are covered for 5 years. Gross weight is about 45 kg as supplied and still needs a final measurement; carton dimensions are To be confirmed.
Questions Buyers Ask Before an RFQ
Is this the same kit as the F25 X3 kit?
No. F25 and G01 are different X3 generations, and their mounting data is not interchangeable. Keep the two records apart when you send the enquiry.
Do I have to retract the electronic parking brake to fit this kit?
No. This is a front axle kit, and the parking-brake retract step belongs to rear brake work on a G01.
Will my 19 inch wheel clear the caliper?
Wheel diameter alone does not answer it. Spoke shape, inner barrel, ET and J are measured before any clearance is approved.
Are caliper covers part of this kit?
No. Decorative covers are a different product class and are not supplied with this kit.
Can I order the calipers without the rotors?
Calipers on their own are not defined in this record. Ask for a separate review before you plan around a partial kit.
Request a fitment review. Attach the vehicle and wheel record to the RFQ; the quotation follows that review.
Model Reference and Next Step

Send the G01 record, the original front brake details and the wheel data with the RFQ. The final rotor and bracket configuration joins the quotation once that review closes.
