BMW Brake Pads

To slow down and stop your BMW, your brakes must create friction. Original brake pads are key to doing it, along with your brake rotors. Types of brake pads off any factory line are many, and what brake pads your BMW needs depends on whether you drive a car or SAV. Many BMW sedans, for example, use one of three kinds of brake pads: organic, ceramic, or metallic. BMW performance vehicles, on the other hand, can use the ultimate in durability -- carbon fiber brake pads. Replace any of them roughly every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. There are signs your brake pads need changing in all cases. They include excessively worn surfaces, whining or screeching sounds when braking, a lit brake warning light, and brake vibration. Hearing grinding, however, is a worst-case scenario. It means your brake pads have worn down to the rotors and damage is happening in real time. Luckily, figuring out which fit your BMW is easy: the best replacement brake pads are OEM. Those from BMW come compatible with the model you're driving right off the shelf.
