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

BOSCH BE1473H Blue rear disc brake pad set is a platform-tuned replacement kit that provides quiet, OE-style stopping power and comes complete with installation hardware.

Engineered by Bosch and tested with the same rigor as its premium lines, these Blue brake pads blend semi-metallic friction formulations with OE-inspired design details to deliver predictable braking performance for compatible BMW models. The kit includes pads for one axle (two wheels), mounting hardware, synthetic lubricant, and arrives wrapped in a protective blue shop towel to keep components clean before installation.

How do these Bosch Blue pads reduce brake noise?

Noise reduction comes from a multi-layer shim system and precise OE-style backing plate design that control vibration and dampen squeal. Combined with chamfers and slots that minimize edge stress, the pads work to produce quieter stops without sacrificing responsiveness.

• Original-equipment style multi-layer shim reduces vibration and squeal.
• Chamfers and slots mirror OE geometry to cut harsh contact noises.
• Synthetic lubricant included to lower sliding resistance at contact points.
