How Often Should I Replace the Brake Pads on My BMW?

At Melbourne BMW, we generally change brake pads between 25,000 and 50,000 miles, though this isn't always the case. You may notice that this is a large gap, and it's for a good reason. The brake pads' lining is designed to wear down, protecting the rotors from damage and excessive wear. However, the speed at which the lining wears down varies based on how you brake. If you tend to brake hard and fast, your brake pads won't last as long as those who come to more gradual stops. Since there's such a difference, we recommend regular brake inspections so our technicians can gauge the thickness of your brake pads' lining.

Why Choose Melbourne BMW for Brake Pad Replacement Service?

When it comes to safety features as important as your brakes, it's best not to take chances or cut corners. Most other places that perform brake pad replacement use aftermarket brake pads. These may do just fine, and they may even last as long as OEM brake pads -- but they also might not. When you visit Melbourne BMW, we use OEM brake pads that come with guaranteed quality and longevity. What's more, they'll be installed by certified technicians who know the intricacies of your BMW.
