BMW 3-Series Brake Calipers

Brake calipers are among the most important parts of the disc brake system. Despite disc brakes started to be widely used in the 1970s, their history is much longer and dates back to the last years of the nineteenth century. Today, most automobiles feature disc brakes on all wheels, while older cars utilize disc brakes only on the front wheels. Capable of better cooling, disc brakes are more efficient and reliable than drum brakes. In some older models of the BMW 3-Series, issues with the brake calipers may happen, as these parts tend to inner corrosion (in the piston's area) over the years.

Calipers act as clamps on the rotors and provide the housing for pistons and brake pads. Usually made from cast iron, calipers can feature a floating or fixed design. The former can change the relative position in respect to the rotors, hence they feature a greater precision and flexibility.
