How long do 2017 BMW 6 Series rotors last?

• Rotor life depends on driving habits, environment, and maintenance; typical rotors last anywhere from 30,000 to 70,000 miles under normal use.
• Aggressive braking, towing, or repeated high-heat events shorten life; regular inspections at Richmond BMW Midlothian extend longevity through timely resurfacing or replacement.
• Factory inspections and OEM parts reduce the chance of premature wear, saving you money over time and preserving braking performance.

Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2017 BMW 6 Series?

• You don’t always have to replace both, but replacing pads and rotors together often yields the best results and longer service intervals.
• If rotors are warped, scored, or below thickness spec, pairing new pads with resurfaced or new rotors preserves stopping power and prevents uneven pad wear.
• At Richmond BMW Midlothian we inspect both components and recommend the most cost-effective solution backed by OEM standards and warranty guidance.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (machining) smooths the rotor surface to remove minor runout or light scoring, restoring even contact with brake pads when thickness allows.
• Replacement is needed when rotors are below the minimum thickness, severely scored, cracked, or warped; we install OEM rotors for precise fit and performance.
• Choosing Richmond BMW Midlothian means accurate assessment by factory-trained technicians, OEM parts, warranty-backed service and the peace of mind that repairs are done right.
