Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On a 2013 BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe the front rotors typically handle the majority of braking load due to weight transfer, which is why fronts often wear faster than rears. Front rotors absorb more heat and stress, especially during spirited driving or downhill braking, while rear rotors contribute to balance and stability. At Richmond BMW Midlothian our technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest, most cost-effective choice. We explain how front and rear components interact and why addressing a worn front rotor quickly can prevent uneven pad wear, ABS complications, and increased repair costs down the road. Our service lanes are equipped with the proper tools to measure tolerances to BMW factory standards, and we use OEM rotors to preserve stopping power and vehicle dynamics. Take advantage of current service specials or speak with our advisors about service financing to get repairs done now and pay over time. To protect safety and resale value, schedule service with Richmond BMW Midlothian and let our certified techs provide a clear, honest plan for front and rear rotor care.
