How often should you replace your 2026 BMW X5 M rotors?

• There is no fixed interval; replacement frequency varies by use and condition. Many drivers replace rotors between 30,000–70,000 miles, but aggressive driving or track use shortens that span.
• Routine inspections at Plaza BMW keep you informed and often cost less than unexpected repair bills by catching issues early.
• To maintain optimal performance, schedule service at the first symptom and check our service specials for savings.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing machine-faces rotors to remove minor unevenness and restore a flat surface; it’s cost-effective when rotor thickness remains above the minimum specification.
• Replacement is necessary for cracks, severe wear, or rotors below the minimum thickness; Plaza BMW recommends OEM replacements when safety or long-term value requires it.
• We explain costs, warranty implications, and long-term savings—book a diagnostics appointment or schedule service to get a clear recommendation backed by certified technicians.
