How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

  • Check current offers before you book — see our service specials and ask about service financing.

How often should you replace your 2026 BMW i5 rotors?

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing (machining) smooths minor irregularities to restore even contact, while replacement installs new OEM rotors when thickness or damage exceeds safe limits.
  • Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford recommends resurfacing only when it meets OEM tolerances; otherwise replacement is safer and more durable.
  • Choosing dealership service provides accurate evaluation, certified workmanship, and warranty protection—plus the option to finance the repair if needed.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2026 BMW i5 is engineered with regenerative braking to reduce wear, but conventional front and rear rotors still play a critical role in full-stop scenarios and emergency braking. Front rotors typically handle more of the stopping load due to weight transfer under braking, so they often wear faster than rears. At Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, our technicians evaluate both axles for thickness, runout, and heat damage. We explain the cost implications of letting a worn front rotor go—longer stopping distances, increased pad wear, and potential ABS or sensor issues—and compare resurfacing versus full replacement. If a rotor is within OEM resurfacing limits, machining can restore smooth operation; if not, OEM replacement ensures correct fit, heat management, and longevity. Take advantage of our transparent estimates, warranty coverage, and occasional service specials.
