Front Brake Calipers

Front Brake Calipers: The single piston floating front brake caliper housings are made of aluminum. The reinforcement frame surrounding the brake caliper prevents spreading from contact pressure on the brake disc.




The brake caliper mounting bracket is made of zinc-nickel coated cast iron. The coating satisfies both the increased corrosion protection requirements as well as the European directive for chromium free components (enforced from 7/2003 on).

A cover is installed to improve the appearance of the brake caliper and to support the retaining spring. The brake pad thickness can be measured through the inspection hole in the center.

The single piston floating caliper code for the 745i is FNR-AI 60/30/348:

- FN - Supplier (continental-Teves)
- 60 - Piston Diameter (mm)
- R - Frame
- 30 - Brake disc thickness (mm)
