Fresh brakes for everyday confidence
When your discs and pads are due for replacement, give your BMW 3 Series 318 Petrol E36 a complete front and rear refresh. This EBC Ultimax2 kit for BMW 3 Series 318 Petrol E36 1991-2001 includes matching discs and pads for both axles, chosen for the original brake configurations listed below.
A complete refresh for everyday driving
Ultimax2 is EBC's road replacement pad range. The aramid-fibre compound, chamfered pad edges and Brake-in surface coating are designed for everyday use, with the coating helping the new pads seat during the initial bedding period. It is a sensible choice when you want to renew your brakes for the driving you do most.
Discs and pads for both axles
The package includes front and rear pads with matching plain OE-style discs for the listed factory brake setup. The discs are balanced and runout-tested, with a protective anti-corrosion coating. Replacing the worn discs and pads together lets you give both axles the attention they need in one purchase.
Choose the kit for your brakes
- Find your exact model, engine and year in the fitment table, then match any original brake-package notes or measurements.
- Select the pad and disc references listed for your vehicle's original brakes.

The engine-output figures describe the original vehicle in BHP; they are not a power gain from the brake kit.
These kits match the original brake configurations shown in the fitment table. If your car already has different calipers or discs, tell us what's fitted so we can help you choose the right parts.
Fitting and bedding in
Professional fitting is recommended. Follow the fitting and bedding instructions for the supplied parts, and allow the pads to bed correctly before demanding full braking performance. The condition and operation of the calipers, hubs and other braking components also matter to the finished result.
Frequently asked questions
Does this kit cover the front and rear brakes?
Yes. Each PD40K option includes front and rear pad sets and the matching front and rear discs shown in the component table.
Does it use my original calipers?
Yes, for the listed original brake configuration. This is a replacement disc-and-pad package matched to those brakes. Match the vehicle and brake measurements in the fitment table.
What are Ultimax2 pads intended for?
Everyday road driving. They are EBC's OE replacement range, with an aramid-fibre compound and Brake-in surface coating to help the initial bedding process.
What warranty is supplied?
The PD40K range carries EBC's 12-month/10,000-mile kit warranty. Contact us if you need help with a warranty enquiry.
