Original BMW Brake Pad Paste, 3 g Packet, for BMW 1 to 8 Series, M, X, Z, and i Models (1977–2025)

Original BMW brake pad paste 83-19-2-158-851 is a 3 g anti-squeal assembly lubricant that BMW specifies for curing brake noise on BMW cars and SUVs built from 1977 through 2025. BMW states that the paste also prevents seizing and corrosion and makes brake dismantling and assembly easier. It goes on the contact surfaces between the brake pads, shims, calipers, shoes, and wheel cylinders, where it reduces the vibration and noise that can appear when the brakes are applied. One packet is used per brake pad or shoe set, and BMW recommends a fresh packet every time the pads or shoes are replaced. The packet weighs about 2 g (0.07 oz).

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This number replaced the earlier BMW paste 83-19-9-407-103. BMW marks that change as exchangeable retrospectively, so the current packet is correct for cars that first called for the older number. Production of 83-19-2-158-851 began in September 2009. The same paste also cross-references to 81-22-9-407-103 and 83-12-2-296-187, so a service manual or invoice showing one of those numbers points to this product. Order one packet for each axle set of pads or shoes you plan to service.
