Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2025 BMW 4 Series M440i?

• Not always, but replacing pads with rotors is best practice when rotors are worn or resurfaced. New pads on old, scored rotors can wear unevenly and reduce stopping power.
• Our technicians evaluate braking components and recommend the most cost-effective solution—often pairing pad replacement and rotor service to ensure optimal performance and long-term savings.
• Warranty-covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership to remain protected. We can help with financing and scheduling—schedule appointment today and check our service specials.

What are the signs of bad brake rotors / How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

• Common signs include vibration or pulsation under braking, visible grooves or score marks, a burning smell after heavy braking, and reduced braking performance or longer stopping distances.
• At Richmond BMW Midlothian we perform a thorough inspection and explain the cost implications of delaying repairs—unrepaired rotor damage can accelerate pad wear and increase repair costs later.
• We emphasize transparency and warranty protection. If repairs are covered, they must be performed here to preserve coverage. Ask about service financing and our current service specials.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing (turning) smooths the rotor surface to remove minor scoring and restore flatness, extending rotor life when thickness and condition allow.
• Replacement is required when rotors are below minimum thickness, cracked, or excessively warped. Replacing with OEM rotors ensures the braking system performs to factory specifications.
• Our technicians evaluate each rotor and recommend resurfacing only when safe and cost-effective. We provide transparent quotes, OEM parts, warranty coverage, and convenient online scheduling—schedule appointment.
