Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2017 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe 440i uses a braking system engineered for balance and performance; front rotors typically handle more braking force and heat, so they commonly wear faster than rear rotors. Front rotors absorb the majority of kinetic energy during deceleration, which is why the front axle often requires more frequent service. Rear rotors contribute to stability and feel; uneven wear between front and rear can lead to pull, longer stop distances, and uneven pad wear. At Richmond BMW Midlothian in Midlothian, VA, our technicians assess front and rear rotors independently, measure thickness to OEM specifications, and recommend resurfacing or replacement based on safety and longevity. We emphasize transparent pricing, OEM parts, and technician certification to deliver better lifetime value—our dealership often costs less than independent shops when factoring in warranty-backed parts and fewer repeat repairs.
