Brake Question

I have a 2013 335i Xdrive M-Port pkg, I need to change the brakes and rotors soon but how can I tell what brake pads and rotors sizes I need? I notice there's like 3 different brake configurations.
I have what looks like Brembos on the front but not painted, on the rear they look like the regular calipers.

Sounds like you have standard 335i brakes. Don't buy rotors for the M-Sport (blue) or M-Performance brakes (Red/Orange/Yellow). Your front pads are the same shape as the M-Sport/M-Perf brakes, but the rears aren't.

You can use RealOEM to look up P/Ns.

Go on FCP Euro and enter your car's info, then pick the category you need parts in. You can narrow it down to show only oem parts. The results show what brakes pads and rotors will fit your car. Just pick the one(s) that are for your car in the description. Whats even better is they have a lifetime guaranty on parts.

It sounds like you have the standard 13 335i/xi brake package- same a my 13 335i. with the unpainted 4 piston Brembo front caliper and the single piston OEM (probably ATE) rear caliper. If so, your front rotors are 340mm and the rears are 330mm. I talked with FCP and they admitted BMW made the F30 brake package options as confusion as possible. He said the best way to check is the calipers and then measure the rotor diameters. you can do that with the wheels mounted since the difference between the standard and the M rotor is 340 vs 370- pretty obvious.

Ok, so I narrowed it down to this, It looks like the I have the standard Brake pkg with the 4 piston unpainted Brembo calipers in the front and the 1 piston standard rear caliper I checked these parts #'s for Power Stop and I think I have it right so for the pads I have this:
POWERSTOP Z231609 - Front Pads
POWERSTOP Z231610 - Rear Pads

and for the Rotors, I have these parts #'s
POWERSTOP EBR1416XPR - Rear Rotors
POWERSTOP EBR1438XPR - Front Rotors

This is according to PowerStop website for M Sport Package with non-painted Front Calipers
https://www.powerstop.com/product/po...0Brake%20Discs

If anyone in the field can confirm this I will appreciate it, I want to be sure I make the right purchase

Did you measure the diameter of your current rotors?? The parts you listed and the link show:
Rotor Specifications FRONT REAR
Diameter (in) 14.6 13.6
Diameter (mm) 370 345

If your rotors are 340mm and 330mm, like mine these don't match

Measure your rotors!
