  • For warranty work, all repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid; we also offer service financing so you can choose the best option now and pay over time.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear brake rotors on a 2013 BMW X5 M serve distinct roles: front rotors handle the majority of braking force and heat, while rear rotors provide balance and stability. Because the front axle takes more braking load, front rotors typically wear faster and may need attention sooner—especially for drivers who do a lot of city driving or towing. At Richmond BMW Midlothian in Midlothian, VA, our factory-trained technicians use OEM rotors and certified procedures to restore braking performance precisely. Choosing dealer service means calibrated torque specs, correct friction materials, and a documented service history that preserves vehicle value. We offer fast turnaround, transparent estimates, and a comfortable customer lounge so you can wait or return later.
