Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On the 2018 BMW 4 Series 440i xDrive, the front and rear rotors perform distinct roles and experience different workloads. Front rotors handle the majority of stopping force because weight transfers forward during braking; they commonly wear faster and may require more frequent resurfacing or replacement than the rear rotors. Rear rotors help stabilize braking and work with the vehicle’s brake distribution systems, including any electronic brake-force distribution; their wear pattern can differ based on driving style, parking brake use, and load. At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, our certified technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout, and assess heat-related changes to determine whether resurfacing meets BMW specifications or if replacement with OEM rotors is required. We make sure you understand the reasons for the recommended service, the cost implications of delaying repairs (including added wear to pads and calipers), and the warranty coverage that protects your investment. Take advantage of our current service specials, and schedule service online for fast, documented repairs with genuine BMW parts and factory-trained care.
