Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2023 BMW 3 Series uses front and rear rotors designed for balanced braking: front rotors are typically larger and take most of the stopping force, while rear rotors handle stabilizing and light braking duties. Because the front axle does more of the braking work, front rotors generally wear faster—heat buildup, heavier loads, and repeated hard braking accelerate wear. At Richmond BMW Midlothian in Midlothian, VA, our factory-trained technicians inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness, and check runout to determine if resurfacing or replacement is necessary. Choosing OEM rotors and pads installed by certified BMW technicians reduces the risk of uneven wear and costly follow-up repairs. We also promote preventive measures, offer targeted service specials, and support service financing so you can maintain peak braking performance without delay.
