I have some new BMW pads to put on rear and they come with a backing plate with white material on them (on one pad only) my originals don't have this just wondering why new pads have them, and do I need to fit this as well ??

also notice they are Brembos as originals.
 
Can be confusing, I bung them in as they come. I recall mine had a backplate on one pad.
You can do it with the caliper in place but I always remove it and give everything a clean.
 
Just had my rear pads (original) out , for a clean up and check at service ... am 99.8% sure one of them had similar material on the back.

So I think (on a 2015 made LC that is) that is simply standard fitment.
