What are the signs of bad brakes on a 2020 BMW 8 Series?

Watch for a brake warning on the iDrive dash, squealing or grinding, steering-wheel pulsation, and noticeably longer stopping distances.

Many BMWs use electronic wear sensors that trigger a cluster alert before pads reach minimum thickness. Squeal often indicates wear indicators contacting the rotor; grinding suggests pads have worn through to the backing plate. If you notice any of these, avoid hard stops and schedule service.
