BMW Front Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Wear and tear on your brakes depends greatly on your driving habits and the type of brake pads your BMW has, but usually front brakes wear out before rear breaks at 30,000 - 60,000 miles because they are typically under much less stress.

How often do brake rotors need to be replaced?

BMW rotors should be replaced by 70,000 miles but may wear out faster depending on your driving habits and a host of extra factors. Typically you will need to replace rotors in pairs starting with the front axle of your BMW as they tend to wear out quicker. Schedule an appointment online with Plaza BMW to get a free multipoint inspection on your entire brake system.

BMW Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Rear brake components typically wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress required to slow a vehicle. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should consult your BMW service manual for recommended maintenance intervals for all components. Keep in mind you should always have your service department perform a multipoint inspection which includes inspecting your brake system.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The BMW brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Backing plate & return spring holds your BMW braking system together so it can function correctly.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and computer allows your automobile to keep traction on the road at all times.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your BMW brake pedals to function the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake Hoses carry brake fluid from the brake line to your BMW brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be inspected commonly for cracks and additional symptoms of deterioration. Check your BMW maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically makes contact with your brake rotor and applies pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's tremendously threatening to keep BMW brake pads forceful by replacing them as the undergo quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your BMW maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your BMW rotors to slow or stop your automobile.
• Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are a lot types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let Plaza BMW find the best type of brake rotors for your BMW
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
• Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to activate the parking brake of your BMW.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damages to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start warping them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from excessive heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
