Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on a 2018 BMW 6 Series separates duties between front and rear rotors: front rotors do most of the heavy work and typically wear faster due to weight transfer under braking. Rear rotors support stability and parking functions, and on some models they are smaller or vented differently. At Richmond BMW Midlothian in Midlothian, VA, our technicians explain the difference and recommend exact, OEM-spec parts so your vehicle maintains factory balance and handling. Choosing a dealer for front and rear service means precise machine tolerances, calibrated torque specs, and a proper road-test after installation — all part of our commitment to safety and longevity. Ask about our current service specials and use service financing to spread payments. To protect performance and resale value, schedule service online or call our team for a fast appointment.
