Wear sensors
Most BMWs have a pad-wear sensor on at least one wheel per axle. When the pad wears to the sensor, the warning comes on and the sensor is replaced with the pads.
Pads and rotors
We measure rotor thickness against BMW's minimum. Rotors often reach that limit around the same time as the pads, but we only replace them when the measurement says so.
Brake fluid
Condition Based Service tracks brake fluid on a time basis. When it is due, we exchange the fluid and reset the CBS item.
Signs your BMW needs brakes
- Squealing or grinding when you brake
- A brake-wear or brake-fluid warning on the dash
- A soft, low or spongy pedal
- Vibration through the pedal or steering wheel when stopping
- The car pulling to one side under braking
