Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors on the 2014 BMW 2 Series 228i typically bear more braking load and heat, so they tend to wear faster than rear rotors. Front-biased braking is common in rear-wheel-drive layouts like this BMW, and the result is greater thermal stress and potential for warp or taper. Rear rotors can also fail from neglect, corrosion, or uneven pad wear, but their replacement cadence is often longer. At Richmond BMW Midlothian our technicians assess both axles, recommend resurfacing where safe, and advise OEM replacement when rotors are below specification. We explain the cost implications of delaying repairs—damaged calipers, uneven pad wear, and compromised ABS components—and how dealer-performed service protects your ownership experience with warranty coverage. We encourage customers to explore current service specials, loyalty benefits, and service financing. For convenience, you can schedule service online and choose a time that fits your day.
