Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve similar roles but face different demands. Front rotors on the 2026 BMW 7 Series typically handle a larger share of braking force, so they often wear faster than rears. Rear rotors assist balance and stability and may use different sizes or venting patterns, which is why our technicians always evaluate both axles. Common rotor issues include runout (causing pedal pulsing), scoring from worn pads, and heat spots from heavy use. Ignoring these signs can lead to uneven pad wear, ABS errors, and higher repair costs. Richmond BMW Midlothian emphasizes transparent diagnostics, OEM replacement parts, and warranty-backed service to maximize safety and long-term value.
