Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve distinct roles on the 2026 BMW X1. The front rotors typically handle the majority of braking force because weight transfers forward during deceleration; as a result, front rotors often wear faster and may require replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors, while smaller in load, still play a vital role in balance and stability. Plaza BMW in Missouri inspects both axle groups and recommends a plan that preserves vehicle safety and minimizes life-cycle cost. Our certified technicians assess thickness, runout, and surface condition, explaining whether resurfacing or full replacement is the best investment for your X1. Choosing Plaza BMW means OEM replacement parts, documented installation, and warranty protection—repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid. We also make upkeep simple with transparent estimates, convenient appointment times, and service financing so you can address brake needs without delay.
