Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On a 2016 BMW 7 Series, front and rear rotors serve similar functions but often face different demands. The front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force due to weight transfer during deceleration, so they tend to wear faster and may require replacement more frequently than rear rotors. Rear rotors assist in balance and stability and sometimes incorporate parking brake components. At Richmond BMW Midlothian in Midlothian, VA, our technicians measure rotor thickness, inspect for heat cracks and uneven wear, and recommend front or rear service based on manufacturer specs. We explain whether resurfacing or full replacement offers the best long-term value—highlighting immediate savings with resurfacing when safe, and the lasting protection of new OEM rotors when replacement is needed.
