Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2026 BMW i5 serve different roles and wear at different rates. Front rotors typically handle a larger share of braking force because weight shifts forward under deceleration, so they often wear faster and may require service sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors, while smaller on many vehicles, still contribute to stability and parking brake function. At Richmond BMW Midlothian in Midlothian, VA, our technicians inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest, most cost-effective option for each axle. We use OEM components matched to your BMW's specifications and document the condition and recommended work for full transparency. We also feature seasonal service offers and long-term loyalty programs to help reduce ownership costs; check current service specials before you visit. When immediate attention is needed, you can schedule service online for quick diagnostic and repair appointments, and our staff will walk you through warranty coverage, financing options, and maintenance recommendations to keep your i5 reliably stopping for years to come.
