OE-Quality Rear Brake Pad and Rotor Upgrade Kit for the 2017-2018 BMW 330e and 330i
The EBC EBCS1KR1695 is an S1 Kit pairing EBC Ultimax2 OEM-replacement rear brake pads with EBC RK Premium smooth surface rear rotors for the 2017-2018 BMW 330e and 330i. The EBC S1 kit concept delivers an OE-equivalent braking upgrade where the Ultimax2 pads and RK rotors are matched to the same application, eliminating the compatibility guesswork of sourcing pads and rotors separately.
The EBCS1KR1695 is a rear axle kit covering both rear wheels with two rotors and one set of pads, and includes caliper lube to complete the service in a single package. The EBC Ultimax2 compound is R90-approved for use on emission-controlled vehicles and matches factory stopping characteristics with lower dust output than many OE pads.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EBC EBCS1KR1695 brake kit?
The EBC EBCS1KR1695 is an S1 rear brake pad and rotor kit for the 2017-2018 BMW 330e and 330i. The EBC S1KR1695 includes EBC Ultimax2 OEM-replacement rear brake pads with Aramid fiber construction and patented Brake-In coating, paired with EBC RK Premium smooth rear rotors with Geomet anti-rust coating, plus caliper lube for a complete rear axle brake service.
Does the EBC S1KR1695 cover both rear wheels?
Yes. The EBC S1KR1695 is a 2-wheel rear axle kit that includes two rear rotors (one for each rear wheel) and one complete set of rear brake pads. It covers the full rear axle service for the 2017-2018 BMW 330e and 330i in a single kit without requiring separate pad or rotor orders.
What EBC pad compound is used in the S1KR1695 kit?
The EBC S1KR1695 uses EBC Ultimax2 pads with part number UD1610. Ultimax2 is an OEM-equivalent daily driver compound built with Aramid fiber, chamfered edges, and EBC’s patented Brake-In coating that accelerates the initial pad bed-in process after installation. Ultimax2 is ECE R 90 approved for use on public roads and on emission-controlled vehicles.
Does the EBC S1KR1695 fit both the 330e plug-in hybrid and the 330i?
Yes. The EBC S1KR1695 rear brake kit is confirmed to fit the 2017-2018 BMW 330e plug-in hybrid and the 2017-2018 BMW 330i. Both models use the same rear brake rotor and pad dimensions in this generation, making the S1KR1695 compatible across the 330e and 330i variants. Confirm your specific VIN-level brake specification against EBC’s fitment guide if you have any modifications or non-standard brake packages installed.
Is the EBC S1KR1695 better than factory BMW brakes?
The EBC S1KR1695 Ultimax2 pads are designed as a direct OEM-equivalent replacement, matching factory stopping characteristics with an Aramid fiber construction and lower dust output than many original equipment pads. The EBC RK rotors are G3000-grade cast iron to the same dimensional standard as the BMW OE rotor. For daily driving use on the 330e or 330i, the S1KR1695 provides factory-equivalent braking performance at a lower cost than dealer-sourced BMW OE brake components.
How long does the EBC S1KR1695 warranty last?
EBC Brakes covers the S1KR1695 kit with a 10,000 mile or 12 month no-hassle warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This applies to both the Ultimax2 pads and the RK rotors included in the kit. Damage from improper installation, overheating from aggressive track use beyond the Ultimax2 compound’s temperature rating, or physical damage is not covered under the EBC warranty.
Does the EBC S1KR1695 require new brake hardware on the 330e or 330i?
EBC recommends inspecting and replacing brake hardware (caliper slide pins, retaining clips, and dust boots) whenever replacing pads and rotors. The 330e and 330i BMW rear brake hardware kit is available separately through BMW or aftermarket suppliers. The EBC S1KR1695 does not include brake hardware beyond the caliper lube in the kit.
Is the EBC S1KR1695 legal for California emissions compliance?
Yes. The EBC Ultimax2 pads in the S1KR1695 are ECE R 90 approved and EBC confirms these pads are not emissions-related components. They can be legally used on emission-controlled vehicles, including in California. Note that the S1KR1695 is subject to California Proposition 65 requirements as a brake component containing materials known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.
Installation Instructions
- Safely lift and support the BMW 330e or 330i with rear wheels hanging free and remove the rear wheels.
- Remove the rear brake caliper bolts, lift the caliper off the rotor, and support it without stressing the brake hose.
- Remove the rear caliper bracket mounting bolts and slide the bracket off.
- Remove the factory rear rotor from the hub (may require a retaining screw on the hub face).
- Clean the hub mating surface with a wire brush and brake cleaner to remove rust and debris.
- Install the EBC RK1861 rear rotor onto the hub and reinstall the retaining screw if applicable.
- Apply caliper lube (included) to the caliper slide pins and bracket contact points on both sides.
- Install the EBC Ultimax2 UD1610 rear pads into the caliper bracket in the correct orientation.
- Compress the rear caliper piston(s) and reinstall the caliper over the new pads and rotor.
- Torque all hardware to BMW specification, reinstall the wheel, and repeat on the opposite side.
- Pump the brake pedal until firm before moving the vehicle, then perform the EBC Brake-In bed-in procedure.
