What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing (turning) removes minimal material and corrects minor warping or scoring, restoring a smooth contact surface for new pads when thickness remains within OEM limits.
  • Replacement uses new rotors when damage is too deep or the rotor is below minimum thickness—new OEM rotors restore original performance and are recommended for consistent braking feel.
  • Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford prioritizes safety and long-term value: we recommend resurfacing only when it meets manufacturer specifications and replacement when it provides better longevity.
  • Ask about financing options and service specials, and schedule service for a professional inspection.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors is essential for maintaining braking performance on your 2018 BMW 6 Series. Because the front axle handles the majority of braking force—especially during hard stops—the front rotors typically wear faster and are more susceptible to heat-related issues such as warping or glazing. Rear rotors often see less immediate stress but still play a critical role in balanced stopping and electronic stability systems. At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, our factory-trained technicians evaluate both axles during every inspection to identify uneven wear, runout, or pad contamination. We recommend OEM rotors and certified installation to preserve ABS calibration and pedal feel. If the front rotors show runout or heavy scoring, replacement often prevents repeated pad wear and additional labor down the road; conversely, light surface issues may be corrected with resurfacing when thickness permits. Take advantage of our service specials and inquire about loyalty programs and service financing so you can address front or rear rotor needs without delay. When ready, schedule service online to get a clear scope, a competitive estimate, and fast factory-backed repairs.
