Brake Rotor Replacement Highlights

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The brake system on a 2013 BMW 7 Series is engineered with a bias toward front braking: front rotors typically handle a larger portion of stopping force, so they wear faster than rear rotors. Front rotors experience greater heat and stress during aggressive deceleration and when carrying passenger or cargo loads. Rear rotors contribute to stability and parking hold, and may include integrated parking brake surfaces that demand precise service. At Richmond BMW Midlothian in Midlothian, VA, our certified BMW technicians measure thickness, check runout, and evaluate pad-rotor compatibility to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is appropriate. We use OEM rotors for fit, metallurgy, and heat tolerance that match the vehicle’s factory specifications. When rotors are replaced as a paired axle service, brake performance is restored more evenly, reducing pulsation and pedal vibration. To preserve braking feel and safety, explore our current service specials and schedule service online — and ask about service financing for convenient payment options.
