Bosch Blue Rear Disc Brake Pad Set BE1473H for Select BMWs — Semi‑Metallic, Includes Hardware & Lubricant

BOSCH BE1473H Blue rear disc brake pad set is a platform-specific semi-metallic replacement kit that includes hardware and lubricant for one axle, engineered for quiet stops and corrosion resistance.

Designed for the everyday driver who wants dependable braking without the premium price tag, the Bosch Blue line applies engineered, vehicle-specific friction compounds and OE-style features to deliver consistent, low-noise braking. These rear pads are precision manufactured to match original equipment dimensions, and each kit ships wrapped in a protective blue shop towel with the hardware and synthetic lubricant needed for installation.

How do these pads reduce noise and vibration?

Bosch Blue pads use multi-layer shims and OE-inspired friction geometry to minimize airborne and structure-borne noise. The design focuses on dampening vibration between the pad and caliper for smoother, quieter stops.

• Original equipment-style multi-layer shims on pad backs for sound suppression
• Slots and chamfers in friction surface reduce harmonics and edge chatter
• Synthetic lubricant included to lower sliding resistance and squeal

What materials and protections does the BE1473H use for longevity?

The pads are made from a semi-metallic, platform-specific friction compound calibrated to balance stopping power and wear life. Steel backing plates receive a rust-inhibitive coating to prevent corrosion that can cause uneven wear and noisy operation.

• Semi-metallic friction formulation tuned to selected vehicle platforms
• Rust-inhibitive coating on backing plates to resist corrosion
• OE-style slots and chamfers to reduce uneven wear and improve bedding

Which vehicles and fitment should I expect for the rear set?

This rear pad set fits a range of BMW models across multiple years, including several 5 Series, X Series, Z4, i8, and M models—verify exact compatibility with a fitment checker before purchase. Note that trim level, drivetrain, and engine options can affect fit, so confirm vehicle specifics.

• Compatible with select BMW models: 528i, 530i, 535i, X3, X4, X5, X6, Z4, i8, M550i and others
• Includes pads and hardware for one axle (two wheels)
• Verify year, trim, and drivetrain in fitment tool prior to ordering

How straightforward is installation for a DIYer or technician?

Installation is kept simple by precision manufacturing to OE tolerances and inclusion of the necessary hardware and lubricant. Pads arrive protected in a blue shop towel to prevent contact damage before fitting, and the kit supplies the lubricant to reduce caliper slide resistance.

• Pads come wrapped in a blue shop towel for protection during handling
• Hardware kit included to replace mounting components on one axle
• Synthetic lubricant supplied for guide pins and sliding surfaces

Who is this for: The Bosch BE1473H Blue rear disc brake pad set is aimed at drivers who want a cost-effective, OEM-style replacement that prioritizes quiet braking, corrosion protection, and reliable stopping performance for compatible BMW models. It’s suitable for both DIY mechanics and professional installers who need a direct-fit rear pad kit complete with hardware and installation lubricant.
