How long do 2022 BMW 8 Series rotors last?

Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2022 BMW 8 Series?

  • Not always, but replacing pads with worn rotors is often the best value: new pads on scored or warped rotors can wear quickly and reduce stopping power.
  • At Richmond BMW Midlothian we inspect both components and recommend the most cost-effective approach using OEM parts and factory procedures.
  • Choosing the dealership means documented service, warranty protection, and technicians trained for BMW braking systems—protecting long-term value.
  • Check for current discounts on our service specials, and remember we offer service financing for immediate repairs.

  • If resurfacing would reduce thickness below spec, replacement is required for safety and warranty compliance.
  • Choosing Richmond BMW Midlothian ensures OEM parts, certified procedures, and documentation for your vehicle’s service history.
  • See current pricing and offers on service specials, then schedule service.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on a 2022 BMW 8 Series. Front rotors typically handle a higher share of braking force and heat, so they often wear faster—especially under spirited driving or towing. Rear rotors manage balance and stability and may last longer, but uneven wear can still compromise stopping distance and ABS/ESC performance. When one axle shows excessive wear, replacement or resurfacing of both components is often recommended to preserve braking balance and prevent uneven pad wear. Richmond BMW Midlothian provides a complete inspection and clear recommendations based on measured thickness, lateral runout, and surface condition. We emphasize OEM parts, accurate machining when resurfacing is appropriate, and replacement when safety requires it. Take advantage of our service financing and current service specials to manage costs. Ready to restore confident braking?
