Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors typically handle most braking forces and therefore wear faster than rear rotors, especially on a spirited 2017 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo with xDrive. Front rotors see greater heat and stress because weight transfers forward under braking; rear rotors may last longer but still require inspection for warping and wear. Replacing worn rotors promptly prevents uneven pad wear, vibration, and costly damage to calipers or wheel bearings. At Richmond BMW Midlothian we use OEM rotors and precision resurfacing equipment when appropriate; we also explain the trade-offs between resurfacing and replacement so you can make a cost-effective choice.
