Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on the 2018 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo balances stopping power between front and rear rotors. Front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force due to weight transfer under deceleration, so they often wear faster than rear rotors. That means front rotor replacement is common earlier than rear; however, uneven wear or a sticking caliper can cause one corner to fail unexpectedly. At Richmond BMW Midlothian in Midlothian, VA, our certified technicians inspect both front and rear components during every visit, measuring rotor thickness and runout and checking caliper operation to prevent premature wear. We explain differences clearly: vented front rotors shed heat differently than rear rotors, and pad compound choices affect wear rates. We also offer promotions and service specials that make comprehensive axle repairs more affordable. If you notice vibration, pulling, or reduced pedal feel, don’t delay — schedule service online and let our factory-trained team restore balanced braking performance, backed by OEM parts and dealership warranty coverage for peace of mind.
