Purpose and function in the braking system

The front right brake caliper carrier for the BMW X5 and X6 E70/E71 generation is responsible for rigidly mounting the caliper to the steering knuckle and maintaining the correct operating geometry of the pads and disc. It is a structural component that transfers loads during braking, which is why its correct fitment to the specific BMW brake system version is crucial for vehicle safety and stability.

The solution with the 60/30/348 design designation is dedicated to a specific front brake configuration, which facilitates part selection based on the OEM number and replacement numbers, and minimizes the risk of incorrect installation.

Construction and fitment for BMW X5 / X6 E70 E71

The caliper carrier was designed by BMW as an OEM component, ensuring it maintains factory mounting points, appropriate rigidity, and compatibility with the original brake caliper and disc. The design intended for installation on the front right side of the vehicle guarantees proper alignment of the caliper relative to the hub and disc, which reduces uneven pad wear and unwanted vibrations.

Proper fitment of the carrier to the specific BMW X5/X6 E70/E71 platform allows for maintaining factory braking system performance parameters without the need for modifying the steering knuckle or other suspension components.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used part

The presented BMW brake caliper carrier comes from the used parts segment, which allows for an economical repair of the braking system while maintaining original manufacturing quality. Choosing an OEM component from disassembly is particularly beneficial for X5 and X6 models, where precise fitment and compliance with factory technical documentation are of great importance for the durability of the entire system.

A used caliper carrier is a solution often chosen by workshops specializing in the BMW brand, as it enables the preservation of original brake geometry at a lower cost than new components, while also allowing for easy verification of compatibility via OEM and replacement numbers.

Selection by OEM number and technical support

This caliper carrier has an assigned OEM part number and a set of replacement numbers, which facilitates unambiguous identification in BMW catalogs and parts selection systems. Before purchasing, it is worth comparing the markings with the vehicle documentation or the removed component to confirm full compatibility with the specific brake system version in the BMW X5 or X6 E70/E71.
