OEM BMW Brakes
Your BMW stops when you press your brake pedal long enough. Simple enough, right? For your part, sure. How brakes work is a little more complex, though. What do they do to slow your wheels and stop your tires? First, your brake pistons move along the bore of your brake cylinder, forcing brake fluid down hoses and lines to your brake calipers. Each caliper has a brake pad on it. When the liquid reaches the calipers, it presses them to your brake rotors. (Older BMW models may have a brake shoe and brake drum instead.) A control module, or sometimes, some wheel speed sensors, may take part in the process. Either way, the caliper and rotor (or shoe and drum) rub together, producing the friction that lets brakes do their job. Unfortunately, all brake parts can go bad; they either get too old or too damaged.
When Do Brakes Need Replacement?
The best way to figure out the answer is to look for signs of brake problems. The most obvious are warning lights, shuddering brakes, odd noises when braking, or an overly low or soft brake pedal. Worse symptoms are longer stopping times, loss of brake grip, and pulling sideways when braking. The worst are grinding noises. They often mean rotor damage, the result of calipers directly contacting them because of worn-out brake pads. If you think you need new brakes, carefully inspect the ones you have first. It's the only way to be certain what the issue is. Then, avoid the hassle of a long line at the parts counter. Order what you need right here.
