• Noise such as squeal or grinding under braking often signals rotor or pad damage—prompt service prevents greater expense.
• Richmond BMW Midlothian performs precise measurements (runout, thickness) to confirm rotor condition and recommend resurfacing or replacement.
• Warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage; ask us about warranty and service financing options.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

How often should you replace your 2024 BMW M8 Gran Coupe rotors?

• There’s no fixed interval; replace based on measured wear, performance changes, and driving style—high-performance use needs earlier attention.
• Inspections during routine service help catch wear early and can save money by resurfacing instead of replacing when appropriate.
• Richmond BMW Midlothian provides OEM parts and factory diagnostic standards for accurate timelines and lasting repairs.
• Ask about financing options so you can address necessary repairs promptly without disrupting your schedule.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing removes minor irregularities and restores a smooth braking surface when thickness and runout remain within spec.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or damaged beyond machining limits—replacing restores full safety and performance.
• At Richmond BMW Midlothian we recommend the option that protects long-term braking reliability; our OEM approach often reduces lifetime costs compared with short-term fixes.
