Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2026 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe?

• Not always, but matching new pads to worn rotors can cause uneven contact and reduced braking performance.
• Our technicians inspect rotor thickness and surface condition and recommend replacement or resurfacing for optimal braking feel and longevity.
• Replacing pads and rotors together often delivers better immediate stopping power and lower long-term maintenance costs.

How do you make 2026 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe brake pads last longer?

• We offer appointments and flexible payment options; schedule service to get a rotor check today.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

• Resurfacing turns and smooths an existing rotor to restore a uniform braking surface when the rotor is within thickness specs.
• Replacement installs a new rotor when resurfacing would leave the rotor below minimum thickness or when warpage and scoring are severe.
• At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford we evaluate rotors against OEM specifications, explain costs and benefits, and help you choose the most cost-effective, safe option. Repairs covered under warranty must be completed at certified dealerships to preserve coverage.
